"A welcome reissue of one of the great bluegrass instrumental albums of all time... This 1976 classic features the venerable fiddler Kenny Baker, a longtime pal of Bill Monroe's, backed up by a small set of superpickers able to follow his lead on these ingenious tunes. Baker's sense of melody and sweetness as saws around the beats on these tunes is really remarkable -- few fiddlers can sound so old-fashioned and yet so fluid and inventive at the same time. This is some real pretty playing... Highly recommended!"

"Yes, my family has all available Kenny Baker recordings. I know of no "poor ones" and "Frost On The Pumpkin" must not be ignored for Kenny Baker carries on with his consistently excellent fiddle. This is another lineup of the best musicians available and, let's be honest, none of us can make excuses for avoiding something of such quality."
