Synopsis

Album Description

This CD was recorded live in the Dance Tent at the Sixth Annual Fingerlakes GrassRoots Festival in Trumansburg, NY. The four original Horse Flies (Jeff Claus, John Hayward, Judy Hyman, and Richie Stearns) get back to their Old Time roots with an incredible set of fiddle tunes arranged in the inimitable Horse Flies style. They were backed by three wonderful percussionists (Taki Masuko, Nery Arevalo, and Jim Roberts), and the end result is a lively set of foot stompin' fun to be remembered forever.

CD Reviews

Pure joy!

09/12/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was there. I saw it happen.This recording is an example of what happens when a bunch of spirited musicians get together and get moved by the spirit of the crowd. These simple fiddle tunes become so much more when the Horse Flies get their hands on them, and the energy of their live performance practically blows sparks out of my stereo speakers. Judy Hyman's dynamic fiddling rightfully takes center stage; Jeff Claus' rhythmic banjo uke strumming and keening vocals add drama and depth. Rich Stearns, the dearly departed John Hayward, and a battery of percussionists hold the whole thing together and propel it to dizzying heights. This CD is the next best thing to being In the Dance Tent, and that's a beautiful place to be!"

Great live bluegrass!

"This is a live performance at the Grassroots Festival in May 1995. The sound is great! With the exception of Human Fly, these are all fiddle and banjo tunes with some great syncopated percussion. Did I mention this is dance music? Cloggers will be on their feet, guaranteed, as the lady said above.

One reviewer noted that this record is unlike the Flies more modern records. It's true--this is their older style bluegrass-on-steroids. It is just drop-dead fabulous. If you like the Horse Flies, you need this CD.

Horse Flies - Intoxicating And Unique

"It brought back the best memories of many danse tents and the magical evolution of the Horse Flies' music. Listening now makes my old clogger's knees feel young again. Music is hypnotic and exhilerating."
