Best 100 fiddle releases

Fiddle music, often associated with folk music, is played on a fiddle, which is essentially a violin used in a more traditional context. The style of fiddle music tends to focus on dancing rhythms, quick note changes, and allows for improvisation and embellishment at the player’s discretion. It’s an aural tradition, often taught “by ear” rather than via written music, and is known for its lively, energetic sound that can vary greatly from one country to another.
