Lone Prarie

Matt Brown

5-String Productions - 5SP05007

Lone Prairie is a collection of 18 traditional Appalachian tunes and songs. It is the debut for fiddler Matt Brown, who presents a range of material spanning from the common (Arkansas Traveler, Old Joe Clark) to the unusual (Cookhouse Joe, Three Forks of Reedy). Brown's fiddling is clean and powerful, quite well grounded in tradition, but also innovative and playful. He is joined by two veterans of traditional music, Paul Brown and Beverly Smith. Paul, who is no relation to Matt, plays a variety of old-time banjo styles masterfully. Beverly plays rhythm guitar and sings in a clear, unadorned voice.
