New England Chestnuts
Editorial Reviews
Fiddler Magazine, Summer 2001
In a review of five Rodney Miller recordings, Bob Buckingham says "These recordings are destined to become classics."
Product Description
Rodney Miller and Randy Miller's New England Chestnuts Vols. 1 & 2 are "classics" of the contra music genre. They were first released as LP records in the early 1980s. After 20 years of collective listening, the consensus has emerged that these recordings are the definitive musical statements of these traditional New England contra tunes. Rodney Miller's talent was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1983 when he was designated a "Master Fiddler." These two CDs are recommended listening for musicians, callers and listeners interested in hearing the music that has had America dancing since colonial times. The liner notes contain a wealth of information about New England contra music and dance. Here is the sound of classic New England contra music at its best.
