Listen to the track in this article [towards the bottom]. Any fans of roots music will be happy to hear a modern act sounding like this. Deep End Sessions is a fiddle album. A roots fiddle album steeped in Western Swing and a couple of Old Time fiddle tunes. Produced by David Bunn and recorded and mixed by Stephen Schauer, at Deep End Ranch, a lemon farm out west, this is not your ordinary fiddle album, not that any of them are. Aarun Carter, who resides in Portland Oregon, is a young lady, not a girl, but as a girl she had garnered contest trophies from all over. .... What Aarun does is put her soul to the bow. It breathes her mood. The slides and slurs and pulses Aarun maneuvers, from what I hear, aren’t strategically placed although she can certainly do this. Aarun’s bow licks and fingerboard touches are emotive. Track 5, Oh Lady Be Good, is the only vocal track on the album. This track perfectly explains my idea here. Aarun’s voice is pleasant with a versatile range, but it’s her inflections that stand out to me. They’re pure soul. So are her bowing inflections and in this George and Ira Gershwin Broadway classic, her voice and fiddle match. That’s because Aarun possesses the gift of laying her soul down to her instrument.
