Subject: RE: Review: Cornbread Nation/Fiddler's Green
Yes!! Tim O'brien can do no wrong..
great voice, great instrumentalist,
and song writer...woo hoo!

How can ANYONE put out two albums
simultaneously??!! This guy is a
genius, and the combination of
players here is really the Cream
of the Crop!! They say this is
from Howdy Skies Music. Jerry
Douglas, the king of the Dobro
players, John Doyle, Stuart Duncan,
Dirk Powell, Dan Tyminski and
Darrell Scott--what a cast of
characters!! plus a few other
greats...Edgar Meyer on bass,
Seamus Egan (Solas)flute,
Chris Thile (Nickel Creek)
on mandolin.

The Fiddler's Green song is
not the one i expected..the
one about "down by the dock
side....dress me up in my
oil skins and jumpers..."
but this one is enchanting,
too.
Here is where to go to hear him:
