Here's an excerpt from Katie's description of the album in the liner notes:


The Cat and the Fiddle

This album focuses on the fiddle. It's sort of my solo album which I got to
arrange, write, and produce. I tried to explore new areas which
FiddleSticks could try out, at the same time being true to our family's
sound. I decided on the name "The Cat and the Fiddle" because I wanted this
album to convey a playful, familiar twang. I see three categories of music
on this CD -- traditional dance music, original fiddle tunes, and vocal
songs. I hope the combination of heritage and exploration will make the
relaxed appeal I was striving for.

This album is dedicated to my sister Rebecca who is the flute/whistle player
and vocalist in the FiddleSticks band, but was serving an LDS mission in
Tokyo, Japan while we were recording this CD. She is an excellent musician
and beautiful woman, and I admire her for her spirit and bravery.
-Katie Davis
