The next issue of The Old-Time Herald will be on its way soon. As you may recall, I recently started writing reviews for the magazine. My latest effort features the Paul Brown CD/DVD set released by The Old-Time Tiki Parlour earlier this year.
The set features Brown on banjo and fiddle, presenting 16 songs and tunes that were culled from a wide variety of sources and influences.
Brown learned at the foot of the most revered masters of old-time music and has become a master in his own right. This set is similar to the Dan Gellert set I wrote about a few years ago. The DVD provides video of the tunes that appear on the CD, allowing you to see how Brown is getting the notes. The booklet provides source and tuning information.
To get my full opinion on this set, make sure you subscribe to The Old-Time Herald. You can also get updates from the magazine on Twitter by following @OldTimeHerald.
Meanwhile, The Old-Time Tiki Parlour has released another album that features Brown with Tennessee fiddler Mike Bryant. Released in June, the CD also features Marcia Bryant and Terri McMurray providing rhythm backup.
So far, 2018 seems to be a great year to be a fan of Paul Brown. If these two albums aren't enough, be sure to check him out every week on his radio show, Across the Blue Ridge, "the great little show that nearly everybody loves." Enjoy!
