Mark O'Connor's "Heroes"
Featuring Byron Berline
"Gold Rush" by Bill Monroe and Byron Berline
Musicians: Mark O'Connor, Byron Berline, Bill Monroe, Dan Crary, John Hickman, Roy Huskey Jr.
Originally released on the album "Heroes" produced by Mark O'Connor - Warner Bros. Records, 1993. Recorded at the Sound Emporium, September 20th, 1992.
Grammy-nominated recording.
In 1992, Mark O’Connor created a history-making album of duets with his violin and fiddle inspirations, entitled “Heroes”. For both historical documentation and further study, there was a video camera in the recording studio during these important recordings and now fans of the violin and fiddle can see up close and in real time, what took place in the recording studio between O’Connor, Byrone Berline, Bill Monroe, Dan Crary, John Hickman and Roy Huskey Jr. Included on this film is the actual recorded takes live in the studio O’Connor and Berline fiddle duos and solos on “Gold Rush” composed by Berline and Bill Monroe who is also featured on this recording. Bonus footage never heard or seen before this film of additional takes in the studio, discarded for the final recording, but could easily have been included as both of these masters played twin fiddles and improvised back and forth to each other for most of the day. “Heroes” released in 1993 on Warner Bros. Records, was nominated for 2 Grammys and sold 200,000 CDs in its first pressing. Since then, the album has become a classic and an inspiration for violin and fiddle fans for two generations and counting.

The measurement of a great human is the number of positive interactions they have with others. So many people have positive things to say about Byron. Living just 25 minutes from Guthrie, I have visited his shop on many occasions. Played with him and others in the front row of his shop. My band played for the fundraiser after his shop burned down. I’m so glad I got to be a small part of showing him what he meant to us..

I love how Big Mon is there in a suit and tie. I was in a tent jam at the OIBF in Guthrie one year, bunch of people playing this tune, and when Byron started playing the level of the whole jam went through the roof. It was intense and memorable. Thanks for sharing the video.

Seeing that Byron passed took the breath out of me. I spoke to him a few moths ago, and was planning a visit to his new fiddle shop. He is about 2 hours from me. Thanks for sharing this Mark. Todd

Thank you Mark for sharing this. I have fond memories of listening to Byron jamming with my uncle Raeford Shirley and friend Don Poindexter at Blythe, CA years ago. Byron was generous with his time and would always stop in camp to entertain and amuse us. His spirit and musical contributions will live on - rest in peace and may God bless!

THANS FOR POSTING! I live just outside Guthrie, would just drop in on Byron at the DoubleStop---no telling who might be there, or maybe Byron by himself, sitting there sawing away!!! Maybe the best in the world, sitting there playing, smiling and enjoying life, and he was a stud----played football and track at OU back in the '60s. Nicest guy you could imagine------missing him.

Mark, I'm your old neighbor from Alderwood, WA. I wrote a fiddle tune for Shetland fiddle champion Gemma Donald. I'd be thrilled to send you the mp3 and have you knock it out of the ballpark. It's an upbeat tune.

I`ve never understood how Byron could play so well holding the neck like that.. I`ve watched him umpteen times at Winfield and was always amazed.

@Melvvynfirmager 3 жыл бұрын

Same with Doug Kershaw. I used to play pedal steel, and dabbled with the fiddle and could only play it that way. All attempts to play the 'proper way' failed me!. If I remember rightly it's called 'crushing the hamster'. I feel sorry for the hamster!

I sometimes hear this with an 6m in the B part. I was told that maybe you (or Berline) sometimes put it in? RIP, Byron. This is a fantastic recording of you two.

Dan Crary on guitar and probably the late John Hickman on banjo. I think that was Byron's picking buddies at the time.

This is as clean and unadorned as Mr. Monroe ever played -- just perfect, with zero showboating, just pickin' what the tune is asking for.

Why are they playing the same tune over and over? I'm a fiddler and they don't have to all sound the same. Throw in some jigs and waltzes.

I think they were recording Gold Rush in studio, as the title suggests.

It's standard in bluegrass to let everyone take solos over one tune. If you listen close, you'll find It's a little different each time they play it. Each twist and turn makes the tune sound fresh. It is not the the same exact way each time like you might hear in old time or Celtic music.
