Hartford, John & Howdy Forrester
Home Made Sugar On A Puncheon Floor
Fans may know Howdys music from his long time work with Roy Acuff. The present home recordings, from the personal
library of John Hartford, give us a powerful glimpse of the roots of Howdys mature style. They are a missing link
between early string band material and the polished, technically supercharged modern contest-style fiddling of which
Howdy was a primary architect. Howdys music evolved from the tunes and style that he received from his Uncle Bob Cates,
revealing along the way Howdys work with Benny Thomasson, the inescapable influence of Arthur Smith, the time spent
playing with Bill Monroe, and the study of Kreislers recordings. When Howdy revisited these old-time tunes from his
Hickman County youth with John Hartford in the 1980s, they had passed through the filter of Howdys vast experiences and
development. Howdy played Middle Tennessee old-time fiddle better than anyone else, as these previously unreleased
recordings make abundantly clear. John Hartford is a man who needs no introduction.
