There are dance tunes from the French countryside, the English Renaissance, Appalachia, and the Shetland Islands. There are new compositions with inflections of Native American, Scandinavian, Baroque and Cowboy music, not to mention a little Joni Mitchell vibe. Whether you fancy elegant finger-style or crazy- good flat-picking, this CD has it, and there is even a little 'slide' dulcimer! Enjoy over an hour of tasty dulcimer treats! Plus many of the tracks feature guest artists on other instruments, ranging from cello to melodeon, English horn, electric guitar, nyckelharpa, whistle, harp, hammered dulcimer, guitar, flute and more. Featured artists include many of the most prominent dulcimer performers on the national scene. Many of the tunes were recorded just for this compilation and a number of other tracks are from recordings that are no longer available.

great dulcimers
Mountain dulcimer recordings are a bit thin on the ground this special compilation has most of the best known dulcimer stars on it.as the mountain dulcimer is a fairly quiet instrument it can get a bit lost in a band setting but here it takes centre stage for over an hour of some of the finestacoustic instrumental music i have listened to,from solo pieces to bands and all styles of music i love this recording and highly recomend it to dulcimer and all acoustic music fans.
