"...It takes a musician of rare sensitivity & skill to pull off a combination as audacious as a reggae version of an Irish reel or a samba-style 'Camptown Races'. It takes a musician like Joe Craven to pull it off 14 times in a row.. Mandolinist, violinist & percussionist Craven mixes & matches a whole globe full of influences on this winning release..."
I love this violinist's playing! Check out his work on the memorable Dan Hicks albums from the 70's. Also, on David Byrne's excellent orchestral album "The Forest"...
