Five Miles of Ellum Wood
Bruce Greene - Solo Fiddle
Old Time Kentucky Fiddle Solos - Here is a selection of twenty-two rare and beautiful fiddle solos from another age. Bruce learned to play these tunes from some of the last living fiddlers of Kentucky, whose music had been passed down from the 1800’s when the playing of unaccompanied fiddle tunes was still a common practice.

Come Near My Love
Bruce Greene and Loy McWhirter - vocals
This is a collection of thirteen unaccompanied, mostly Southern, songs and ballads. Bruce Greene and Loy McWhirter have been absorbing songs since early childhood. They do not read notes and so learn by ear and word of mouth. When they met in 1975, they started learning each other’s songs and singing together acapella harmony.

Down Home

The Roan Mountain Hilltoppers literally came "down from the mountain" in the late '70s and early '80s - real mountain folk who had been playing stringband tunes for decades. Amazing raw, authentic Appalachian string band music. |
