notes

"For dulcimer fans there's a lot of pure dulcimer here- dulcimers of all shapes, sizes and timbres- ranging from the wonderful high registers of the ginger dulcimer to the full throaty sound of the bass dulcimer. For Kevin Roth fans, there's pure Kevin here, including the magical dulcimer arrangements and the wonderful vocals fans have come to expect..

If this is your first introduction to Kevins' music, I'll just say that Kevin recorded his first lp for Folkways records in 1974 when he was 16. This introduced his unique and innovative style of mountain dulcimer playing and singing to the folk fans of the 70's. Since then he has recorded over 30 albums of music for adults and children to rave reviews, and is one of a few who literally saved the dulcimer from obsurity. He's played just about every major dulcimer and folk festival on the planet and continues making great music every chance he gets.

For more of a good look at Kevin's background, check out his website at WWW.KEVINROTHMUSIC.COM, and don't miss his art work there either.

If any of your friends ask you what a dulcimer is, the definition is the CD you hold in your hand"

  • A very nice find
    author: Steven in NYC

    I chose the CD semi-randomly in a search for traditional mountain dulcimer playing that was not too old-timey, and this was just what I was looking for. It was a great surprise. I'm sure I'll be picking up more Kevin Roth CDs.

  • Great accoustic music, sweet, gentle, melodic and clear.

    Great accoustic music, sweet, gentle, melodic and clear. Very nice to work to, read, relax or to learn and see what this seemingly rare instrument is about. For those not framiliar with the appalachian dulcimer, this album may impress you with it's rich, full tone & versatility which Kevin Roth can employ it. Lots of good tunes here.
