REVIEW
“The Whitetop sound is fiddle-driven with the other instruments providing snappy rhythmic back-up. Even the clawhammer banjo is mostly a rhythm instrument with little seconding of the fiddle. This creates an almost irresistible need to get up and dance…a rollicking old-time outfit that remembers what old-time dance music is all about.”
