My erstwhile house-mate and band-mate Bob Black on banjo here. This recording is one that made me decide to devote a lot more time to bluegrass music. Kenny swings so hard that it’s hard to sit still and listen to this. A high water mark in bluegrass fiddle music!

Warren Hanlin- Swings hard and does it so smoothly. What a great combination of elements. He should have been a Dean at a roots music college over the fiddle dept.

Definitely my favorite ever...

[@johngamon2428]

A great Kenny Baker album, with a beautiful touch of blues played in a classic Kenny Baker way. My favorite!

Kenny Baker is one of those fiddlers where you know pretty much right away how special this guy is.

Guitar player here... new to bluegrass. This guy is my new hero. His lines are great.

Ive heard all of them. Kenny Baker is the greatest fiddler I have ever seen or heard.

The consummate bluegrass fiddler and the inestimable Bob Black on banjo!!!!!

So happy to see this on CZcams! I am Liz for whom the tune "Lazy Liz" was named.

[@dianeovercash6739]

Is there a Kenny Baker song book somewhere?

[@daves.9479]

Yes, www.bookfinder.com/book/Kenny_Baker-Fiddle/0825602246/ but it's out of print and the used prices are utterly ridiculous.

[@jean-paulperron5094]

Hello Diane, the book is out of print, but I have a copy and I could make you a photo copy of all
the fiddle tunes and mail them to you. email me at; [e-mail]

[@gregorflea]

Who is playing the bass on most of these songs?
