The "Earl White Stringband" is a fabulous album of traditional and new oldtime music. It features one of few Black American fiddlers playing Appalachian oldtime music in modern times. Fiddlin Earl White has been a prominent figure in the oldtime music and dance world for more than 40 years and has a vast collection of fiddle tunes from across the country. The Earl White Stringband does an excellent job of perpetuating the sounds of an era in our past where Blacks and Whites alike relished in the deep musical traditions of the Appalachian mountains. The energetic, straight ahead driving style of Fiddlin Earl White; the percussive and distinctive thump of Mark Olitsky' banjo; the steady rhythm and bass runs of Adrienne Davis' guitar, and the backbone and bottom of Joe "Bass" Dejarnette' bass just makes you want to move your feet and dance. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for "GOOD" oldtime stringband music. This long awaited album will fill that void and leave you longing for more.
