Edden Hammons

The most fiery fiddlin' to ever touch these ears.
Amazon sez: "Late in the 1880s, Edden Hammons earned a reputation as one of central West Virginia's finest fiddlers. His distinctive sound has influenced countless musicians, and the Hammons name is magic among fans of true old-time fiddle styles. In 1947, old Edden played his music into a homemade recording machine for a visiting professor. This CD, selected from those historic 1947 recordings and enhanced through the latest digital audio technology, brings Edden Hammons the legend to life for a new generation of listeners. The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume One is the first CD in a two-volume set of Hammon's work published by the West Virginia University Press Sound Archive Series. These are NOT recordings or remixes, but flawless conversions to disc that serve as the only recorded music actually played by Edden Hammons."
