Great American fiddle tune Classics with some worldly twists and turns included in the mix.
Bio / Background
A review from Fiddler Magazine
When fiddlers find a style of music that suits them, they tend to stick with it and play little else, which is what makes Bill Thurman's new release, Fiddlin' My Life Away, so unusual. Thurman is a musician who is comfortable
playing in just about every style and the selections on his CD include examples of swing, Celtic, Appalachian, Gypsy, and even Venezuelan fiddling. And even though he plays such a wide variety of music, he finds the thread that ties the styles together and turns what could have been a hodgepodge of mismatched tunes into a cohesive musical statement. The selections include a sweetly swinging version of the Reinhardt/Grappelli classic "Minor
Swing," the Scottish reel "Flowers of Edinburgh," and a very nice take on "Blackberry Blossom," which begins with a lovely slow duet with dulcimer player Lloyd Wright. Thurman is a tasteful fiddler who seems to be incapaple of
playing an inelegant note.
