Arrangements by Darrol Anger and Natalie involve collaboration with some of America's finest bluegrass musicians including, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Edgar Meyer.

Natalie MacMaster
Blueprint

Natalie's newest CD may well be her best effort to date. Her fiddle sound sparkles, and the overall effect is fresh.

In addition to traditional material, she includes a number of her own compositions ... all strikingly original yet rooted in tradition. Of particular note are the two new A modal strathspeys - perhaps the best since Dusky Meadow was composed by Donald Maclellan in the 1940!.
