Few albums encompass the wide range of styles that In the Red does, but what's truly remarkable is the way it all seamlessly flows together. With each listen, this 1995 collaboration between violinist Tammy Rogers and percussionist Don Heffington reveals new colors and textures. The pair moves from buoyant old-time fiddle tunes to insistent minor-keyed marches to haunting Old World waltzes to bubbling Middle Eastern vamps, and the relationships between them all emerge clearly and magically. On a song such as "Whiplash," the atmosphere glides back and forth from exotic to down-home, and yet the shift seems perfectly natural as Rogers's fiddle dances atop Heffington's pandeiro (a type of Brazilian drum). "Get Out While You Can" sounds like an eerie snake charmer's siren song on which Heffington moves to Egyptian tambourine and African hand drum. The moods established throughout In the Red are vivid and complex, an amazing accomplishment considering the pared-down instrumentation on most of the cuts. --Marc Greilsamer

This review is from: In the Red (Audio CD)

I bought this disc after buying the Steeldrivers and reading reviews of that great, great CD. One of the reviewers mentioned a CD that the fiddle player had recorded earlier.

The description is a bit misleading in that it suggests this is just a percussionist with the fiddle player/vocalist from The Steeldrivers.

The fact of the matter is that they bring on guest artists (many from the Dead Reckoning crowd) and the disc is a real joy. This is perfect music to cook or read to. Tammy Rogers fiddle playing is really subtle and soulful here.

If you like bluegrass or Irish music, especially with a real fine fiddle, this is a great disc to own.
