Renee Fleming "Fiddle & The Drum" LP

• Vinyl LP
• Folk / bluegrass

Renée Fleming and Béla Fleck meet in a program of traditional songs, folk material and contemporary ballads. Fleming’s soprano and Fleck’s banjo lead an ensemble that includes Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Jerry Douglas, Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan.

Parton joins Fleming on In the Pines, Gill adds harmonies to The Scarlet Tide, and Douglas’s Dobro supports the title track, a Joni Mitchell anti-war song. Across ten selections, the arrangements connect bluegrass instrumentation with Fleming’s classical background.

“an elegant reimagining of these songs”
