Henry sims violin

You just have to marvel at the musicianship on the Tennessee Chocolate Drops' "Vine Street Drag" which rattles along thanks to Howard Armstrong's almost frantic fiddle--which he even surpasses on "Ted's Stomp"--chased every inch of the way by Roland Martin on guitar and half-brother Carl Martin on string bass.

This selection of tunes in no way denigrates any of the other tracks: every single one of them is delightful in its own right. Furthermore, given that the tracks have been remastered from disc, the surface noise is unobtrusive on the vast majority of tracks. The selection of material is varied and interesting, the sound quality is very good, and the packaging is beautifully done with an information filled page booklet all about the music and the artists.
