Bio / Background
You’ve heard renowned multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin,
“…this generation’s Ry Cooder” on hundreds of CDs over the years. There doesn’t seem to be an instrument he does not play. And yet this barely scratches the surface of this Faheyesque musician and composer. This mostly instrumental release features the Fatman primarily on fiddle…but there are ventures into instruments from far flung corners of the globe, like the traditional Turkish balagma. Fats Kaplin is an artist who gives great attention to the inner soul of the great indigenous music of our world, he finds an essence that he can then translate with his own particular American accent. John Fahey, Sandy Bull, Charles Ives, Harry Partch…these are the men he reveres. Artists beyond classification.
This rare limited edition disc is truly a work of art.
