Music reviews of Banging & Sawing

Music Review: refined brilliance
Rating: 5 Stars

The fourth track, "Ora Lee" is without question the most beautiful fiddle track I've ever heard. This is the only known recording of this tune and inspired me to pick up the fiddle. Although Carlin is best known as a banjo player, this is a fiddle dominated record, the banjo is merely background.

My only misgivings: the extra tracks sandwiched in the middle (noted with #). This is such a fine recording because Carlin's group recorded two dozen songs and kept only the best. The bonus tracks are inferior and belong at the very end.

Altogether, the rarest of recordings that demonstate the finest imprint of the southern soul. If this music doesn't move you, check your switch.
