Wood, Jim
Rural Felicity; Fiddle Tunes From 18th And 19th Century
Rural Felicity, brings together a master fiddler, Jim Wood, with a collection of 18th and 19th American fiddle and fife
tunes drawn from an extensive collection of historic manuscripts. The American Vernacular Music Manuscripts is an online
collection of original, 1730-1910 music manuscripts that come from the collections of the Center for Popular Music and
the American Antiquarian Society. Jim carefully researched the site to choose over 40 tunes to arrange and record. His
collection combines fiddle standards old and new, song melodies, airs, minuets, waltzes and more to offer a glimpse into
the music people liked to play in their homes in America a century or more ago. Scholar, Chris Goertzen, an authority on
early American fiddling, contributed a detailed essay for the liner notes that provide history and context about the
tunes and the manuscript collection itself.
