Friends, Fiddles & Favorites
Joe Dobbs & Buddy Griffin

Joe Dobbs and Buddy Griffin have been friends for decades now, and form a remarkable mutual admiration society that is, frankly, unique in the fiddling world. So when they come together to produce a twin fiddle album, watch out! This is a wonderfully warm collaboration.

Joe Dobbs was born in Mississippi, where his grandfather also was a fiddler. Joe moved to West Virginia in 1967 and has been involved in folk music there for 30 years as a fiddler, recording artist, instructor and lecturer.

Buddy Griffin is from Sutton, W.Va. Impressed by the style of network radio performers in the late 1950s, and consumed by the acoustic folk music boom in the 1960s, Buddy decided early in life that he wanted to be a professional musician. Although his first instrument was the banjo, he plays fiddle, guitar, bass, mandolin, Autoharp and other stringed instruments. In fact, Buddy plays all the parts on this album except for Joe's fiddle parts!
