5. Liza Jane :: Ernie Carpenter (Braxton County WV). Descended from a long line of musicians and pioneering river men, Ernie's fiddling echoed the stories, legends, and musical styles passed on to him by his forebears. Many of Ernie's tunes, which he later passed on to a new generation of fiddlers, commemorate important events in the history of his family and other early settlers in central West Virginia.
Great choice of music, expertly played and sung. Nicely produced. I hope to see The Onlies live, asap. This is an album I listen to over and over. Karamogo
The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
