The present home recordings, from the personal library of John Hartford, give us a powerful glimpse of the roots of Howdy's mature style. They are a missing link between early string band material and the polished, technically supercharged modern contest-style fiddling of which Howdy was a primary architect. Howdy's music evolved from the tunes and style that he received from his Uncle Bob Cates, revealing along the way Howdy's work with Benny Thomasson, the inescapable influence of Arthur Smith, the time spent playing with Bill Monroe, and the study of Kreisler's recordings. When Howdy revisited these old-time tunes from his Hickman County youth with John Hartford in the 1980s, they had passed through the filter of Howdy's vast experiences and development. Howdy played Middle Tennessee old-time fiddle better than anyone else, as these previously unreleased recordings make abundantly clear. John Hartford is a man who needs no introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dugler With a Shoefly On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"That Must Have Been a Tie\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e McKinley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Home Made Sugar And A Puncheon Floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arthur Smith's Twinkle Little Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"I've never heard anybody play it but Arthur\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stump Tail Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Well it's different\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Uncle John Wills's Lost Indian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"You did a whoop\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Still On The Hill (Sells Brothers Circus Rag)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tumbling Creek Liza Jane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Tell you where I first heard that one\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ladies In The Ballroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Benny didn't get into that part\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going Across The Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cotton Eyed Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sugar In The Gourd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Possum Up a Gum Stump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Balance All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paddy On The Turnpike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Polly Put The Kettle On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"You ever hear Secesh?\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Greenback Dollar...Vernon Solomon never heard that\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lady Of The Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Roy talks Grandpappy George Wilkerson\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Going Uptown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Even back in these days\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bitter Creek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"Run out of tunes\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50553885458706,"sku":"190394130930","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/john-hartford-home-made-sugar-on-a-puncheon-floor-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
