Two-time GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter, Becky Buller, released new music today. "The Barber's Fiddle" is the first single to come off Becky's latest album, Distance And Time, slated for release July 17, 2020. The album will be her third release from Dark Shadow Recording. Listen to the new single here.
"The Barber's Fiddle" is a song that tells a story of bluegrass music being passed on throughout generations. Becky says that this single is rooted in the tradition of fiddle playing in barbershops and based on the true story of a young man picking up a fiddle for the first time, discovering the magic of bluegrass music for himself. Becky wrote the song with Lynda Dawson, and there are 18 award-winning fiddlers featured on this track, including Shawn Camp, Jason Carter, Laurie Lewis , Kati Penn, and Sam Bush on vocals and fiddles, Michael Cleveland, Johnny Warren, Stuart Duncan, Deanie Richardson, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Jason Barie, Fred Carpenter, Tyler Andal, Nate Lee, Dan Boner, Brian Christianson, Laura Orshaw and, of course, Becky.
Stephen Mougin, President and owner of Dark Shadow Recording, has produced this single and all of Becky's work since 2014. He says, "On each of the Becky Buller projects, we’ve tried to create something new and different, while maintaining the core of the traditions she holds dear. Distance And Time certainly follows that trend, yet reaches farther back and farther forward. It has been a treat to work with her fine band, and some wonderful guests, to bring these songs to life."
