This review is from: Old Time O'Odham Fiddle Music (Audio CD)
Many years ago I began my search for just this musical style along with its partner chicken scratch. Found it on cassette and am happy that its been re-released on cd. I truly can saw I love the music, the tunes, the playing, the slightly off-tuning of the violins. Nothing wild nor crazy nor genre-bending but just a wonderful document of a lovely music by musicians who play with an understated and relaxed attitude. Oh yeah, did I say lovely?

Polka influenced fiddle music,
By Eric Vondy "Eric Vondy" (Phoenix) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Time O'Odham Fiddle Music (Audio CD)
I didn't know what to expect the Gu-Achi Fiddlers to sound like. That was what intrigued me when I bought it. It has a nice polka sound to it -- not like a German polka band. The fiddles dominate the sound and it is all instrumental. While there are guitars and drums they're barely heard here. If you're looking for R Carlos Nakai this isn't it. It sounds nothing like any Native American music I've ever heard. In fact, I don't hear any Native American influences in it at all. Its more akin to hillbilly music or old bluegrass than anything else I can think of. Don't let the album cover fool you, this album was recorded in 1997. The cover photo is not the band, its just an old photo. So don't expect it sound like some 1920's recording, the quality is excellent as are the musicians.
