Highlights include a blistering performance of the Arthur Smith penned title track “Fiddler’s Dream,” a step out vocal from Sam Bush on the John Hartford classic “Steamboat Whistle Blues,” and a twin fiddle showdown on the Monroe classic “Tall Timber” featuring Jason Carter (of Del McCoury Band). Fiddler’s Dream also showcases Michael’s masterful guitar playing on “Earl Park,” and mandolin playing on “Blues for Bill,” “Lonesome Desert,” and “Earl Park.” Additional guests include Jerry Douglas (Dobro), Jeff Guernsey (guitar), Lloyd Douglas (banjo), Andy Statman (mandolin), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), Vince Gill (vocals), and co-producer, Jeff White (guitar and vocals). Michael Cleveland has undeniably achieved a new personal best with Fiddler’s Dream and in the process, has raised the bar for all aspiring fiddle players to follow.
