Edden Hammons Collection, Volumes One and Two


Volume One


Condition-Like New


Late in the 1880s, Edden Hammons earned a reputation as one of central West Virginia's finest fiddlers. His distinctive sound has influenced countless musicians, and the Hammons name is magic among fans of true old-time fiddle styles. 

In 1947, old Edden played his music into a homemade recording machine for a visiting professor. This CD, selected from those historic 1947 recordings and enhanced through the latest digital audio technology, brings Edden Hammons the legend to life for a new generation of listeners. 

The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume One is the first CD in a two-volume set of Hammon's work published by the West Virginia University Press Sound Archive Series. These are NOT recordings or remixes, but flawless conversions to disc that serve as the only recorded music actually played by Edden Hammons.

"...a priceless historical record."
Elderly Instruments

"His lonesome fiddling and trademark drones recall bagpipes and the old world traditions which fiddle music draws upon. . . A must for fans of West Virginia traditional music."
Paul Gartner, The Charleston Gazette

"Hammons had tunes that are unlike anything else in the tradition, and his versions of standards are often surprising. But it's not just the unusual tunes or the feeling that you've been transported to the musical heart of Appalachia that makes his music so beautiful. It's the depth - Hammons could cut to an emotional level that only the greatest artists of any style ever reach. . . there are enough spooky, wonderful things here to make this an easy choice as the best old-time record of the year."
Duck Baker, Express Records


"Unquestionably one of the best old-time fiddle recordings ever made." --Dirty Linen
