Liner notes
Smiley Bates is Canada’s most versatile country music performer. Besides playing the flat top guitar, five-string banjo, dobro and mandolin, he also does a fine job on the fiddle. It was the first instrument he learned to play.

Such old-time favorites as “Maple Sugar”, “Boil Them Cabbage Down” and “Ste. Anne’s Reel” were selected by Smiley for this album. “Fiddler’s Dream” is Smiley’s own composition.

With the growing changes in music today, it is still nice to be able to listen to a fiddle record with the old tunes on it and that is what Smiley had in mind when he recorded this album.
