DALE POTTER was once called “the greatest fiddle player who ever lived”. His Nashville studio work tended to prove that: He was one of the most-demanded studio fiddlers during the 1940’s,1950’s
and 1960’s. His recording work included dozens of top country artists
including Hank Williams, Little Jimmy Dickens, Chet Atkins, Jimmy Dean
and Webb Pierce. His special skill in country-jazz fiddle set a
standard which was seldom matched by any other fiddler.

BUCK RYAN was playing fiddle with Don Reno, Red Smiley and Bill Harrell and The Tennessee Cut-Ups at the time of this recording, so we are fortunate to hear one of those rare recordings where Reno & Smiley and Harrell are serving as a backup band. Fiddling Buck Ryan was produced by Dick Unteed and recorded at the Rome Recording studios and contains some of the best Bluegrass & Country instrumental music recorded by this fine group of Bluegrass legends and pioneers.
