2 CD SET ". . . Ed was the most important old-time fiddler to come out of the eastern Kentucky/ western West Virginia area between the turn of the century and the 1940s. You would have had to hear him on a street corner or on a courthouse square or a stock sale, for he didn't make commercial records or play on the radio. He certainly didn't play within his peer group, instead stretching the boundaries of what fiddling meant in his time. This collection should finally place his unique fiddling in its right perspective. His reputation was legendary and not unlike that of Buddy Bolden in Dixieland jazz, Robert Johnson in the blues or Arnold Shultz, the great Kentucky guitar player. These performances, most published for the first time, come from one-of-a-kind home recordings that have been transferred and remastered using state-of-the-art technology. " --John Hartford, from his liner notes Produced and annotated by John Hartford, this two-CD set (36 tracks) is the first of two volumes that together make available almost all of Ed Haley's recordings. Also available: Grey Eagle (ROUN 1133/1134).
