Welcome!


This blog is for the sharing of non-copyrighted or out-of-print Texas style fiddle music. If you believe something posted here should not be shared, please contact me. Feel free to share this site on social media via Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If you download something, please share something back, too. Also, if you have information about any of these recordings, please pass it along. The goal of this site is to preserve the music with as much supplemental information as we can get!

Most of the music is shared in a .zip file format. You must decompress the .zip file before you can access and play the individual .mp3 songs. It's pretty easy with both Windows and Mac.

DISCLAIMER:
Much of this music was recorded from old worn cassettes that have been sitting in a box deteriorating for years. So...sometimes it sounds like music recorded from old worn cassettes that have been deteriorating for years. It's not studio quality, but it is good enough that you will still love the music.

Texas Fiddle Favorites - Major Franklin, Louis Franklin, Norman Solomon

Essential of the essential. This out-of-print 1966 recording from County Records features Major Franklin, Louis Franklin, and Norman Solomon--three of my favorite fiddlers. Accompanists include: Omega Burden (guitar), Betty Solomon (piano), and Mike Solomon (guitar). If you like this, you should also head over to County Records and purchase Texas Hoedown Revisited. Together, Texas Fiddle Favorites (County 707) and Texas Hoedown (County 703) are like having the Old and New Testaments of Texas fiddle...or maybe it's the Old Testament and the other Old Testament!
