Description
In 1982, when Jerry Holland recorded Master Cape Breton Fiddler, he set a new standard for the up and coming generation of Cape Breton fiddlers. Although long out of print, this classic album continues to influence the tradition, and today, many of the tunes remain popular standards throughout the world.
Digitally remastered for the first time, this recording and accompanying booklet provide a glimpse of the flowering career of one of Cape Breton’s finest fiddlers and composers.
