Buck Hoard from Vol. 3 by Hog-Eyed Man (featuring Beverly Smith & John Grimm)
A wild piece with an enigmatic title from Alva Greene (1894 -1976), of Elliott County, KY. Jason played this one solo in the finals of the 2016 fiddle contest at Clifftop, WV, and was honored to take home the blue ribbon. (JC - fiddle; RM - banjo-uke)
Hog-eyed Man is an acoustic oldtime duo comprised of Jason Cade (fiddle) & Rob McMaken (lap dulcimer, mando, guitar). Drawing primarily on the archaic tunes and pre-radio aesthetics of Southern Appalachia, the duo has forged a compelling and authentic style of traditional music, both reflecting deep respect for the past masters and carrying the musical conversation forward to the present era.
