Fiddle Patch

People
[T]his mostly instrumental album by veteran country fiddler Hicks is full of sweet, melodious moments ... Hicks played with Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys during the 1950s and is now part of Ricky Skaggs's Kentucky Thunder.... All those influences are apparent in this album, not only in its dedication ... but in the presence of Skaggs himself playing mandolin and singing harmony....

A Poor Performance Bobby Hicks.......2005-09-23

What was Bobby Hicks thinking about when he recorded Fiddle Patch? He has ruined some good fiddling by including three vocals which would make any country music lover cringe - they are straight out of the Top Forty charts. As examples of soppy, stupid, schmaltz they excel and should never have included in an album of traditional fiddle. You have ruined this CD for us Bobby please do not do it again!

excellent example of Mr Hick's preferred style.......2004-02-05

Mr Hick's professional awards are well deserved. I have read that his is more of a Texas swing style (as opposed to bluegrass) and I think this CD is a good example. Although as I recall the 1st track has a hard driving bluegrass rythym. Regardless of personal preferences, anyone should appreciate the talent level of Mr Hicks as well as the musicians he assembled for this CD.

Great CD.......2001-12-31

I bought this album based on just knowing one piece ("Estralita"), but reviewing the list of other titles I thought the rest of the album would be good too. I wasn't disappointed. If you love swing music and the accoustic sound, you'll love Fiddle Patch. Great virtuoso performances.
