Hair and hide is literally what bluegrass and old time music is made of. Focusing on the raw materials of the fiddle and banjo, in tandem with the stripped-back sound of only the two instruments, is both a classic and revolutionary choice on fiddler George Jackson's sophomore record 'Hair & Hide'. To assemble these fourteen tracks, he enlisted seven banjoist friends - who also happen to be some of the finest players of their generation - such as Brad Kolodner, Jake Blount, Frank Evans, BB Bowness, Joe Overton, Wes Corbett, and Uma Peters. Each player recorded two tunes, a traditional and an original Jackson wrote to suit their individual playing style.
