Each of these musicians has had several records out over the years. It was a bit of a surprise for us to see them working together on this neat album, because Mr. Bright is an old-time fiddler from the Chattanooga area of Tennessee and Mr. Evans is a Scruggs style banjo picker who lives in California. But this joint project certainly works and it will be a treat for fiddle fans and those who enjoyed similar projects in the past. (Paul Warren and Earl Scruggs were known for their nifty fiddle-banjo duets, though they never did a full album's worth of them). The 16 tunes recorded here include such classic pieces as TWO O'CLOCK, DALEY'S REEL, LIVERPOOL HORNPIPE, NORTHERN WHITE CLOUDS, YELLOW BARBER, GREASY COAT, SAINT ANNE'S REEL, and ANGELINE THE BAKER. Mr. Bright is still an excellent fiddler and Evans a top flight banjo picker --as this CD shows. Nice job!
