Description
Andy Leftwich is one of those fiddlers everyone talks about in whispers, usually after having seen him tear up the stage as a member of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Band. Equally adept on mandolin as the fiddle and a better than average guitarist as well, Leftwich generally handles several instrumental chores at a time on his debut as a leader, but is also assisted by a crack team of sidemen, including resonator guitarist Rob Ickes, bassists Mark Fain and Missy Raines, and banjo player Richard Bailey.
The program is weighted toward more or less traditional bluegrass, but it contains strong elements of jazz (check out the blistering version of Django Reinhardt's "Minor Swing") and Grisman/Rice style new acoustic (his own "Faultline", which could have been taken straight off an old Tony Rice Unit album).
On the other hand, you might mistake his "Leaving New Hampshire" for a traditional fiddle tune- in fact, on the B part you might mistake it for "Soldiers Joy". The album ends with a lovely solo mandolin version of "Jesus Loves Me".
