Peghead Nation instructor Bruce Molsky was in the studio recently recording lessons for his popular Old-Time Fiddle course and while he was there, he played this version of the great traditional tune “Barlow Knife.”

Bruce’s trio, Molsky’s Mountain Drifters, also recorded the tune, and it appears on their first album, released in late 2016. The trio includes guitarist Stash Wyslouch and clawhammer banjo player Allison de Groot.
