Fiddler's Curse - Revised and Updated. The Untold Story of Ervin T. Rouse, Chubby Wise, Johnny Cash and the Orange Blossom Special. Fiddle. Softcover. 226 pages. Published by Centerstream Publications. HL.1081. ISBN 1574242148. 6x9 inches. One of the most bizarre stories in all of popular music is the history of “Orange Blossom Special,” arguably the century's best-known fiddle tune. The man credited with its ownership, Ervin T. Rouse, endured tragedy, alcoholism and mental illness. He spent his last years fiddling for tips in isolated taverns at the edge of the Everglades, and died all but unknown. The man who claimed co-ownership, Chubby Wise, achieved fame as the seminal fiddler of the bluegrass genre, but struggled to overcome personal demons and to heal the scars of childhood abandonment and abuse. Johnny Cash, the tortured superstar who made the song a mainstream hit, quietly championed Rouse and earned the enmity of Wise. This trio's disparate legacies are here told – and forever linked with the legendary diesel steamliner. “Fascinating. a compelling story told in an artful and human way. The writing reads like the best fiction. – Gainesville Sun.

Gepubliceerd door Centerstream Publications. HL.1081. ISBN 1574242148. 6x9 inch. Een van de meest bizarre verhalen in alle populaire muziek is de geschiedenis van "Orange Blossom Special", misschien wel de bekendste fiddle tune van de eeuw. De man gecrediteerd met zijn eigendom, Ervin T. Rouse, verdroeg tragedie, alcoholisme en geestesziekten. He spent his last years fiddling for tips in isolated taverns at the edge of the Everglades, and died all but unknown. De man die mede-eigendom geclaimd, Chubby Wise, bereikte bekendheid als de rudimentaire violist van het bluegrass genre, maar worstelde om persoonlijke demonen te overwinnen en de littekens van de kindertijd verwaarlozing en misbruik te genezen. Johnny Cash, the tortured superstar who made the song a mainstream hit, quietly championed Rouse and earned the enmity of Wise. This trio's disparate legacies are here told – and forever linked with the legendary diesel steamliner. “Fascinating. a compelling story told in an artful and human way.
