Henry King's Reel

Henry King's Reel, a fiddle tune written by Trevor Stuart of Haywood County, North Carolina.

Playing with effects today, I found I like the sound of a slapback delay and octave pedal with my fiddle. I tracked this twice, once with just the delay and once with delay and an octave down.

Trevor Stuart and his twin brother Travis have a great cd/dvd album out on Tiki Parlour Recordings ("The Stuart Brothers"); I highly recommend it if you like fiddle tunes. Sadly, Trevor died last year, way too young.

Love this! The octave-apart parts are more effective than I would have guessed, and when they make very slight diversions its extremely pleasing.

Agreed. So cool how the sound fills out like a cello. I do a similar trick with a glockenspiel.
