Here’s a great new CD we had neglected to mention when it was released last month. It’s the debut release from Hunter Berry, the dynamic young fiddler with Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, with the appropriate title, Wow Baby.

The recording is a mix of vocal and instrumental tracks, including fiddle favorites like Ragtime Annie, Leather Britches and Billy In The Lowground, with bluegrass classics like I’m Waiting To Hear You Call Me Darlin’ (with Marty Stuart and Bobby Osborne) and Blue Kentucky Girl, featuring Sally Sandker (Rhonda Vincent’s daughter). A number of Hunter’s original fiddle tunes are featured as well, the title track among them.

Assisting on the CD is a stellar bluegrass rhythm section, consisting of Tony Rice and Bryan Sutton on guitar, Ron Stewart on banjo, Doyle Lawson and Adam Steffey on mandolin, and Darrin Vincent on bass.

You can read detailed track information on Hunter’s web site, and we found a few sample audio tracks at The Music Shed.
