notes
"My Friend is a Mule in the Mines" is the second release from Dark Holler. Subtitled "Old-Time Excursions," this CD is being praised for it's wonderfully original approach to old-time music. Fiddle tunes, old-time country, and blues are all handled with equal skill by Bob, a multi-instrumentalist from York County, Pennsylvania. The title cut is a song his Grandfather sang for the Bishop among others when he retired from the Methodist clergy. The CD also includes a nearly lost, traditional York County Fiddle tune, called "Unicorn". Bob appeared regularly in the region with the Contra Rebels, the house band for the York Folk Dance Association. Fellow band members, Reed Martin and Todd Clewell join Bob on this project which includes four banjo duets with Reed. Other guests include Bob Hess and Tim Renner.
For fans of old-time banjo, this CD is simply a must-have as it features two of clawhammer banjo's GREATEST living players, Reed Martin and Bob Buckingham himself...sometimes playing banjo duets. Amazing!
