about

Mississippi Square Dance is Jones, Miller & Nelson's latest CD of old-time mountain fiddling. They tear through 21 hot tunes, some classics and some soon-to-be classics, all learned from the masters, old and young(er) including Ed Haley, Doc Roberts, Clark Kessinger, Hoyt Ming, Edden Hammons, Melvin Wine, Jimmy Triplett, Chirps Smith, and others. All are played with spirit, drive and good taste.

Notes by Jim Nelson

Thanks to Christina for the tunes; to Gabrielle for holding down the fort, among other things; to Deborah Hyland for her collection of square dance images; to Colleen for her great work under duress; to Mark Gunther, without whom there might not have been a Rhys Jones, the fiddler; and to Chirps Smith, Fred Campeau, and Dan Gellert, all of whom provided inspiration along the way.
