Search - Fiddlesticks :: Time and Again

In this fourth recording, the FiddleSticks family band presents a wide array of traditional Celtic music -- plaintive love ballads, raucous jigs and dance reels, silly songs, serene instrumentals, and for good measure a traditional hymn. The collection is called "Time and Again" because it's a bit retrospective: many of the tunes are old standbys we have been playing since we started perform together years ago -- in fact some of the tunes appeared on FiddleSticks' first recording in 1998, "The Sampler." The rest are new discoveries or compositions that have become FiddleSticks standards in the past year or so. All the tunes, old and new, take on dynamic new character in this eclectic collection.FiddleSticks is a family musical group that performs folk songs and traditional tunes from the Celtic lands, from England, and from America. The core ensemble of fiddle, flutes, cello, voice, guitar and bodhran are joined on this recording by dulcimer, fretless bass, cong! as and djembe, and even a full drum kit, giving this FiddleSticks collection the most excitement and variety ever.
