Hi Meg & et al :)
Fun question!
I'm guessing you mean for trad dance??? Or is it generally???
Re trad, I've found myself going back to some 'oldies but goodies'. Not
super old mind-you, but not super recent recordings either...
David Kaynor and Betsy Branch's Midnight in Montague has been a go-to for
me of late. In part thinking about David and all he's done for the trad
dance/music community but also because I just love the double fiddle
harmonies. Anyone have examples of recordings with really tight and clear
fiddle harmonies for dance music?
Another is Eric Merrill's the Western Star....
I really love this album. Not sure if full-dance mode but great trad
sound. I've never heard Eric play... wish I could!
And then for more recent recordings....
I keep on listening to Eloise & Co, Rachel Bell's solo CD, Buddy System,
and Julie Vallimont's solo CD.
