The fiddle is one of the most iconic instruments in country music. Its recognizable sounds add an unexplainable heartbeat to music that is deeply felt by country music fans.
The fiddle is also one of the most disputed instruments to make an appearance on the music scene. Non-country listeners like to challenge its name by asking, “Is it a fiddle or a violin?” Country fans love to prompt a debate with non-country-listeners by asking, “Can you ever have too much fiddle?” And, everyone who watches a great fiddler player asks, “How is playing this instrument humanly possible?”
Frankly, we don’t have all of the answers, but we love the instrument and celebrate its placement in these 7 country music songs.
