Album Description
Random Acts of Fiddling samples many flavors of the fun of fiddle music: Old-Timey, Celtic, Bluegrass, Swing, Ukrainian in new and creative arrangements. Not only do the girls play well individually, together their music creates a special sonic space. While trained classically, this is the music they have chosen and learned on their own, in the style of many traditional fiddlers from various cultures. Recorded by Russ Hopkins of KIVA Records and produced by Steve Eulberg, this recording is destined to become a favorite of lovers of traditional music of all stripes.

Customer Reviews

Delightful mixture of Celtic, American and other fiddling
I found this CD to have such a variety of lively fiddling styles and great accompaniment by bagpipes, bodhran, guitar and my favorite - a limberjack [a clogging toy dancer]

great one
well you may think that this is just another cd, but let me tell you, it is full of variety and talented players that will surely cause you to stop and listen. Personally, when i heard it, i was truly awed by the skill or these talented players, i myself am a violin player and these people sound professional, you may think "this is just another amateur cd out there" but i'll bet that if you try it you will be in for a surprise. if you have any irish background this may cause you to just stop and say, wow i know that song, or i want to learn that song. this is a good cd to listen over and over to, and you'll probablynever get tired of it. Carole and her sister are destined for greatness so get one of their first works and maybe you'll earn millions later.

PS make another cd guys!

Jackson of Monterey
What a pleasant surprise! A gift to a non-fiddler who didn't expect to like it. The variety, the beat, the finess, the unusual content. There are few who would not be fascinated with most of the selections. Those young ladies have a real future if they stick to their technique shown in this CD.
