Kentucky Music. Kentucky Wild Horse
Description
Kentucky Wild Horse takes its name from an old east Kentucky fiddle tune played by Wolfe County fiddler Darley Fulks, who possessed a vast repertoire of pre-Civil War tunes. The band's love and inspiration is Kentucky music from the 19th century through the present, especially its fiddle and banjo traditions. The group searches out obscure fiddle tunes, bluegrass songs, and even classic jugband music, breathing new life into material that could otherwise vanish. Lead vocalist and guitar player John Harrod has documented, recorded, and performed traditional music from more than 35 years, and he is a recipient of the Folk Heritage Award of the Governor's Award in the Arts. This splendid performance is hosted by Jesse Wells of the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music at Morehead State University.
