Norman Blake nancy Blake fiddle cello




Norman Blake can play guitar like nobodies business.  But he's also an incredible multi instrumentalist.  As I've been diving into Norman's catalog more and more over that last few years, the tracks where he plays fiddle or mandolin have really started to stand out.  His fiddle playing is remarkable, and there's not a whole lot of video evidence I could find, so I was excited to see this one.  Especially since his wife (a phenomenal musician and multi instrumentalist herself) Nancy plays on it too.  Beautiful tune, beautifully played.  It is a little strange how Norman's beard spills over the top the fiddle, though. Just saying.
