Kitty Puss: Old Time Fiddle Music From Kentucky
Kitty Puss (or more completely Kitty Puss: Old-Time Fiddle Music from Kentucky) is Buddy Thomas' only commercially released album of fiddle tunes.
Background
Mark Wilson and Guthrie T. Meade produced the album after having been discovered Thomas at a Kentucky music festival. Recording was done in 1973 and 1974 in Waldorf, Maryland and Ashland, Kentucky. Several months after recording had finished, Thomas died of a heart attack on October 4th, 1974. The album remains as a prime example of the articulate fiddling style of northeastern Kentucky.
