2016 release. Michael Cleveland is one of bluegrass music's great treasures: an 18-time IBMA fiddle player of the year, Cleveland captured the attention of the bluegrass community as a child prodigy who performed on the Grand Ole Opry with Alison Krauss when he was only 13 years old. Now mainstream music fans are discovering what the bluegrass community has known for years - that Michael Cleveland is one of the most important fiddle players of his generation. With this release, Michael Cleveland delivers his finest studio album to date: full of the fire and finesse that has earned him fans from across the globe.
