Long Steel Rail
In his formative years, highly-regarded, old-time musician Riley Baugus often played with and learned from elders of the tradition in North Carolina and Virginia - including legendary old-time fiddler Tommy Jarrell (a National Heritage Award recipient). Earnest study, and total immersion in the wealth of knowledge available to him by virtue of being an insider from the region, gave Baugus access to experience that positioned the North Carolina native as standard-bearer and direct link between the art's pre-commercial beginnings and today.
On Long Steel Rail, Baugus continues to embrace his role in this lineage: singing, fiddling, and playing banjo with absolute love and respect for the humanity and tradition that brings music into his life. Produced by Tim O'Brien and Dirk Powell.
