Across the Blue Ridge #154 - Jason Cade

Jason Cade is a Georgia fiddler with roots all over the south, an artist who reveres the historic fiddlers of the past while contributing new interpretations, energy and new tunes to a longstanding tradition. His latest album, with Rob McMaken and several other friends, is Hog-Eyed Man – Old World Music of the Southern Appalachians. On this week's show, it becomes the string through our story of musical evolution in the south.  We hear fascinating performances of the past from greats including Fiddlin' Bill Hensley, Marcus Martin, Manco Snead, Earl Murphy and others – plus tracks from Cade's new album and recordings from some of his contemporaries. Be sure to take in this fascinating Across the Blue Ridge episode.
