Review by Will G

Fiddler's Dream Mocking Bird by Arthur Smith is an outstanding album that showcases the exceptional musicianship of the artist. The album features a mix of traditional and original compositions that are performed with great skill and passion.

Arthur Smith's mastery of the fiddle is evident throughout the album, and his playing is complemented by the talented musicians who accompany him. The songs are well-crafted and showcase a range of styles, from lively jigs and reels to haunting ballads.

The album's standout tracks include "Fiddler's Dream," a lively tune that showcases Smith's virtuosity on the fiddle, and "Mocking Bird," a beautiful ballad that features Smith's soulful vocals. Other highlights include "Black Mountain Rag," a fast-paced instrumental that is sure to get toes tapping, and "The Cuckoo," a haunting song that showcases Smith's skill on the banjo.

About Arthur Smith

Fiddlin' Arthur Smith (April 10, 1898 - February 28, 1971) was a country and bluegrass fiddler from Tennessee. He took the nickname "Fiddlin'" and "The Original Arthur Smith" so that he wouldn't be confused with the younger Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith . On December 23, 1927 Smith made a solo debut at the Grand Ole Opry. In the 30s he formed The Dixieliners (AKA Arthur Smith & His Dixieliners and The Original Arthur Smith and His Dixieliners) with his daughter Lavonne and . In 1939 he briefly joined the Tennessee Valley Boys only to leave the next year to briefly join The Shelton Brothers before leaving to form a band called The Band of Arthurs, featuring men all named Arthur and his daughter Lavonne. More than five sessions were cut with the Delmores, the tracks coming out under the name of the rather than the Dixieliners, although later album reissues on County reverted back to the Dixieliners name. During the 1940s Smith was part of the Bailes Brothers, published two songbooks called Songs From the Hills of Tennessee and Arthur Smith's Original Song Folio no. 1 and briefly acted in western films. Arthur retired in the late 40s but had a comeback in the mid 50s and continued to play until his last show in 1969.
