One only needs to sit through a couple songs of a live Ralph Stanley concert to know that James Price is a heck of a fiddle player. His forceful, confident technique only needs to be put in the spotlight for a brief solo to gain the audiences' ear. Now, thanks to the release of Fiddlin' the Old-Time Way, bluegrass fans and fiddle freaks can listen to Price in the privacy of their own homes. This is a fun set that finds the fiddler sawing his way through 14 old favorites, from "Soldier's Joy" to the "Orange Blossom Special." A number of friends, including guitarist James Alan Shelton, mandolinist John Rigsby, and banjoist Steve Sparkman, fill out the arrangements and add a bit of bounce. Price offers fine renditions of upbeat pieces like "Sally Goodin" without breaking a sweat, but displays the rich tone of his fiddle most clearly on ballads like "Dark as a Dungeon." Price's noted humor has less room to blossom here, but he nonetheless includes his fine imitation of the Man in Black at the end of the "Orange Blossom Special." Fiddlin' the Old Fashioned Way gives Price a chance to step out of the sidelines and into the limelight. Fiddlers and traditional music lovers will be glad he did. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Excellent showcase for this fiddler & tune-carrier
The first few measures of "Soldier's Joy" set the stage for an album of lively fiddle tunes that roll along like greased lightning. From West Virginia, you may remember James Price from his days as fiddler and guitarist with the Goins Brothers. Since then, he's fiddled with Ralph Stanley for over eight years, and Price selected these 14 cuts based on the many requests he gets for good old-time standards like Sally Goodin', Dark as a Dungeon, Cacklin' Hen, Kentucky Waltz, Katie Hill, Farther Along, and Orange Blossom Special. I suspect that Price has won many a fiddle contest with these tunes. He also throws us a few interesting curves, like the less-often played Jimmy Campbell composition, "Runnin' Late" or the uptempo "Suwanee River Hoedown" (a piece attributed to Ruby Rakes and recorded by fiddler Chubby Anthony with the Stanley Brothers in 1959). "Pretty Little Indian" and "Flannery's Dream" are nice traditional tunes that aren't heard a lot today. Oh boy, James Price certainly knows how to saw those strings in an old-time way! Bill Monroe would be proud of his rendition of "Watson's Blues." That tune, as well as "Suwanee River Hoedown," also feature Price on mandolin and guitar. He has some great accompaniment from James Alan Shelton (lead guitar), Ralph Stanley II (rhythm guitar), John Risgby (mandolin), Adam Steffey (mandolin on two tracks), Steve Sparkman (banjo), and Mike Bub (bass). This is an excellent showcase for Fiddlin' James Price, and I commend him for being a tune-carrier for old-time fiddle music. The Clinch Mountain Boys have a long tradition of excellent fiddle players with the likes of Art Wooten, Joe Meadows, Ralph Mayo, Art Stamper, and Curly Ray Cline. Now, if you haven't already done so, we should add James Price to this list of luminaries as he's proven that he can fiddle with the best of 'em. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

5 stars A 5-star fiddle feast
The title truely fits this album, from the red hot "Sally Goodin'" to the mournful sound of "Dark As A Dungeon", James gives us "fiddlin' the old time way". Probably the best fiddle album I've heard

Fiddlin' The Old Time Way album
CD $14.99  Audio Samples
A quartet album of a handful of Seattle's top jazz players stemming from a regular weekly session in a small ale house. Much of the ensemble is the same as on Now...Here...This, though Hans Teuber's sax replaces Mike Denny's guitar. More notable, however, is the departure in tone. Where Now...Here...This was warm and relaxed, Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit is aroused, challenging. The two lead saxes steal much of the show, running through chord progressions and extended solos in front. Richard Cole contributes a third sax on a pair of tracks as well, adding fuel to the fire. Jeff Johnson provides some creative ideas on bass, and John Bishop keeps the rest of the band on time with a mix of basic cadence work and more inspired fills, flights and solos. This type of session of scene 'regulars' is the key to the forward movement of jazz, and this album showcases where it can lead, as well as serve as an excellent example of where the Northwest jazz scene is ...
