Virginia Wildlife  (2004)  

Done in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the disc features wild animals that live in our wonderful state along the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail.  This is one of the liveliest of our albums, focusing on Celtic and Appalachian styles, with guest appearances from master banjo player Dwight Diller, guitarist Phillip Skeens, Scottish harper Ardie Boggs, and bassist Henry Smith.
