FORTUNE TAKE 2 from TATIANA HARGREAVES, one of the best contemporary fiddlers in old-time music. She worked with Alice Gerrard to send us this fine tribute to Otis Burris, playing one of his trademark tunes. Back up guitar from MK Rodenbough.

From Tatiana's website: "Over the past decade, Tatiana Hargreaves has been on the forefront of an up and coming generation of old time, bluegrass and new acoustic musicians. Growing up in the West Coast fiddle contest and fiddle camp scenes in the 2000s, Hargreaves got swept into the emerging generation of acoustic musicians with her brother Alex Hargreaves (Billy Strings), Brittany Haas (Punch Brothers), Sarah Jarosz (I’m With Her), Dominick Leslie (Molly Tuttle), and many others."
