Horse Shoe Bend — Curly Miller and Carole Anne Rose

Curly and Carole Ann put their own unique and delightful stamp on 22 fiddle tunes from the American South, the British Isles, and Scandinavia, played on fiddle, banjo, and bowed bass.

"If this duo could somehow be transported back through time about 150 years and plopped down smack dab in the middle of a dance in their neck of the woods, no one would even bat an eye. This is good, solid, authentic-sounding dance music." Old-Time Herald
