Music reviews of The Fuzzy Mountain String Band
Music Review: Once upon a time in North Carolina
Rating: 5 Stars
I have owned this album for several years, and with each listening my sense of reverance and awe continues to grow. The Fuzzy Mountain repetoire was primarily based on the playing of Henry Reed, an 80-something-year-old fiddler whose tunes ranged back to the time of the Revolutionary War (and earlier). Reed was recorded by ethnographer Alan Jabbour in the late 60s (these recordings can be heard on-line from the Library of Congress). Jabbour, still an active musician, also founded the Hollow Rock String Band in the late 60s, some of whose members made their way into the Fuzzy Mountain String Band. Both bands were based in North Carolina's musical fertile crescent of Chapel Hill and Durham. Roughly speaking, Hollow Rock was to Fuzzy Mountain what Beatles was to Stone. Both bands were fantastic, but while "precise" and "professional" describes Hollow Rock, "loose" and even "boisterous" describes Fuzzy Mountain. (This is no dismissal of Hollow Rock, whose music is as beautiful and essential as Fuzzy Mountain.) The Fuzzy Mountain CD reissue of their work covers two different LPs, and the performances from the second set of sessions are a little cleaner. None the less, start to finish, this is an astonishingly broad cross-section of music that became the roots of blues, bluegrass, and country, played by clever and talented people who learned it from as close to the source as one can get.
