Its called Town and Country Fiddler, by stellar Australian fiddle player Donal Baylor.

Victorian banjphonists Mick Harrison and Hamish Davidson appear on this album. Mick's slow backup is very tasty - and Hamish is a peerless session man with a solid drive and technical skills on scruggs, melodic and single string styles.

To blow my own horn I wrote the liner notes - but it aint often that a banjer picker gets to do that either.

And here is a snippet - master mandolin maker Steve Gilchrist plays on this album - And you may have heard rumours he can play 'em as well as he makes em. It is all true folks (and those that have been lucky enough to pick a few with Steve or catch him a jammin at a Festival will back that up!)
