Jason Carter leads off this week’s Old Fashioned, because he’s one of the most versatile and renowned fiddle players in bluegrass of the last 30 years and because he’s releasing a new solo album. For those new to this scene, Jason sought out and landed the job of fiddling in the Del McCoury Band in the early 90s and he’s been there ever since, winning five IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year Awards in the meantime, plus building the Travelin’ McCourys into its own phenomenon. His project Lowdown Hoedown is out as of Nov. 4. We’ve also got new music from Junior Sisk, the Foreign Landers and the duo of banjo star Kristen Scott Benson and her husband Wayne, playing as Benson. Old time sounds come from Hard Drive, David Long and our own Amy Alvey playing with Golden Shoals and the Old Time Snake Milkers.
