446. Ian Stewart (Asleep At The Wheel) on Fiddlers 4 'Fiddlers 4' (2002)
Manage episode 500258488 series 86765
Today I'm joined by Asleep At The Wheel's Ian Stewart to shine a spotlight on the cult classic fiddle super-group album 'Fiddlers 4' - Cajun legend Michael Doucet, old-time master Bruce Molsky, progressive bluegrasser Darol Anger, and cellist Rushad Eggleston. Ian talks about falling in love with the album as a kid attending fiddle camps, how the album fuses different styles and genre approaches from each member, polyrythms, cross tuning, the fiddle as a star instrument instead of accompanying, the one and done nature of the group, the sometimes prescriptive nature of roots genres, meeting all four Fiddlers 4 and playing one of the songs from the album with Michael Doucet.
