I was wondering a bit what albums fiddle players think of as the 'bible' of country fiddle. For steel guitar, some in that list may be Ray Price LPs Night Life and Touch My Heart. For bluegrass banjo, many would consider Foggy Mountain Banjo.

So fiddlers, what's in your country fiddle 'bible' album list?

Not sure what the originals would be but you could get some of Bobby Flores’ CD’s. He redid a lot of the classic tunes and was a student of Shorty Lavender and especially Tommy Jackson. That about covers it unless you go to the next generation in Nashville with Spicher and Gimble.

For people on this forum, I think that one album (which I have) featuring Buddy Spicher would be more apropos:

But for the old time stuff, my all-time favorite is Tommy Jackson.

However, There's this guy named Michael Cleveland who's "hotter'n a two-dollar pistol"!
