I'm a hammered dulcimer player and actually played one of Junior's tunes "Death Valley Waltz" for the National Championship (with permission). No, I didn't win, but it was fun! A fiddle player friend of mine has asked me to learn "Draggin' the Bow" on my dulcimer so that's why I order the "Lights of Pinon." I truly love every tune on the CD. I wish I could get the music to almost every song on it, especially the "Sweet Memories of You" and "Junior's Waltz." I've played the CD so much, it really should be worn out and I've only had it a week. Outstanding work to all participants of the CD; excellent backup, as well as the Junior Daugherty playing. Thanks for sharing all you talents with the world.

Lights of Pinon is a wonderful collection of old time fiddle music. You won't have to be a western music expert to enjoy the variety of traditional and original songs from this fiddling master.

Great Music from an Old-Time Fiddler
author: Mac McGaha
This CD has a great assortment of well known Daugherty tunes and music I'd never before heard, all of which is some of the best fiddle playing you can find. This was a bargain for the number and quality of the recordings. The bonus sheet music included with my purchase was a real treat.

Some of the best old time fiddling I've ever heard.
author: Cori Batte-Garcia
Now that country music has gone "pop" the fiddle seems to have gone the way of the dobro; an instrument of the past. It is so great to hear some of the old classic fiddle tunes along with Daugherty original tunes. A must-have for both fiddle aficionados and beginning fiddle students. Made me want to find a partner to waltz with!
