"Explore the Celtic to Bluegrass Connection" ... that's just what this lively instrumental collection does! Renowned Celtic hammer dulcimer artist Marcille Wallis teams with 14-year-old bluegrass fiddle phenomenon Matt Miller in paying tribute to the artists who brought the music of Appalachia out of the hills and into the recording studio and the hearts of America. Accompanying the duo is seasoned guitar veteran, Paul Cottrell. Selections include a medley of tunes made famous by the legendary Carter Family, and a composition by the "Father Of Bluegrass," Bill Monroe. Contemporary tunesmiths are given a nod as well, most notably Jay Ungar, composer of the achingly beautiful "Ashokan Farewell." This is uptempo, good drivin' music ... just be sure to set the speed control or you might get a ticket!
