Del McCoury with Jason Carter on fiddle. What could be better? Jason's soaring, incisive fiddle has been driving the Mccoury's' sound for 30 years. And he kicks the jams out of some of my songs, too.
Byron was the greatest. Inimitable. His unique style of fiddling is ne plus ultra and sui generis, as they say in the backwoods patois. You gotta hear him to believe him.
