Great Divide

The Wild Coyotes

ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE is the Wild Coyotes first CD release.

Southeast Idaho is sparse, high desert country west of the high, rocky mountains of the great divide

where the coyotes roam. It is a place where musicians of any particular idiom are few and far between.

Traditional bluegrass, old-time, cowboy, and western swing music can be found, but there is no dominant

indigenous musical tradition. The environment fosters an open, diverse community of musicians playing

traditional music.

The Wild Coyotes are four good friends living in southeast Idaho that came together to play music,

melding their diverse musical backgrounds and interests. Vince has mainly played bluegrass and

western swing music, but he has always had an ear and interest for the old-time fiddle tunes and

lately can’t stop exploring the myriad of old-time fiddle tunings. Sallie grew up in West Virginia, living

in a thriving old-time music community, singing folk songs. Rick has been immersed in old-time

fiddle tunes and clawhammer style banjo, searching back into the archival recordings for tune sources.

Carrie plays hard-driving traditional bluegrass music, but her ears like to wander into diverse acoustic music styles.
