Edden Hammons
hot platter! THE EDDEN HAMMONS COLLECTION VOL. 2: West Virginia is a state with a unique history, culture, and a decidedly distinct style and repertoire in their indigenous music. This is nothing less than a treasure, the completion of all the known recordings of Edden Hammons, the century's most celebrated West Viginia fiddler, recorded late in his life in 1947. "The power, honesty, and unadulterated old-time sound of these tunes made them among the most sought-after unpublished recordings of Appalachian traditional music," until 1984 when some 15 tunes from the session were issued on LP and now, the second of 2 CDs. It's a priceless historical record, and just plain great fiddling from a bygone time---extensive notes and quotes, too!
