Joining Buddy on this recording are many of the
accompanists he has played with throughout his 60 years
fiddling

The Judique Flyer was a steam-driven passenger train that
replaced the old stagecoach line running between Inverness
and Point Tupper on Cape Breton's west coast. In 1938, a 15
year old Buddy MacMaster boarded The Judique Flyer to return
home after playing for his first dance. From that time
Buddy's reputation as a fiddler spread up and down the
Judique line. Today he is recognized by many as the world's
leading exponent of the Cape Breton fiddle style.

Remarkably, each of the 14 cuts features a different
piano player, including his own daughter Mary Elizabeth, as
well as many of the top accompanists in Cape Breton today.
The CD booklet researched historical and biographical notes,
including archival photographs.
