MIKE FENTON 'Olde Time Journey'
Fenton is a British autoharp player who has been studying and taking part in the old-time music scene for some 30 years, befriending such people as the Carter Family, Kilby Snow, Bill Clifton, and James Lindsay of the Mountain Ramblers. This generous 21-track CD is a retrospective of sorts, with some lovely pieces that include collaborations with Snow, Joe Carter, Tommy Jarrell, Bobby Patterson and others. With extensive notes and photos in a 24-page booklet, this is a very nice item for anyone who likes the autoharp. FORKED DEER, MISS. SAWYER, AMBER TRESSES, PICTURE ON THE WALL, BOATMAN, ROAD TO COLUMBUS, etc.
