"In addition to excellent fiddling, these tapes (5 Miles to Town and Fiddling up a Storm) feature excellent tune choice and squencing of material. So, "which one should I pick?" you ask. That's a tough decision. Our advice: try both cassettes." 5 (Five) Miles to Town: 19 southern fiddle tunes by Ryan Thomson with banjo, guitar, and mandolin backup. includes: Arkansas Traveler, Soldier's Joy, East Tennessee Blues, Kitchen Gal, Boatman, Ragtime Annie, Rocky Pallet, New Money, Leather Britches, John Henry, John Brown's Dream, 5 Miles to Town, Sugar Hill, Dill Pickle Rag, Over the Waterfall, Polly's Mountain Kettle, Flop Eared Mule, Minneola Rag, more. The art work on the cover of this cassette has changed but the music remains the same. I haven't released this album on CD yet.
