“This second outing from the pair of renegade fiddlers is a long-awaited followup to their first album together, ”Jazz Fiddle Revolution”, now a classic among the underground fiddle scene.”

Enough, already!  Here’s the album all you fiddle players have been asking  about for the past year and a half.  Yes, it’s got the same rawness and interplay as the first album, but with a bit more preparation, some original tunes (4 of Billy’s and one of mine) a few overdubs,  bass and even (sometimes) drums.

Hooters was about the only “sit-down” place still open late that night after we finished our last recording session for the album in Nashville during December of 2007. Taylor Coker (left), bass  Daryl Johnson,(right) drums.
