Chubby Wise Vinyl Records

Chubby Wise was an American fiddler, best known for his work with bluegrass musician Bill Monroe. Born in the small town of Greenville, Florida, Wise started playing the fiddle at the age of 8 and quickly developed a distinctive style of playing, often imitated by other fiddlers.

He is most famous for his work with Bill Monroe, playing on the legendary Blue Grass Boys albums of the 1940s and 1950s. His standout albums with Monroe include Bluegrass '45, Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys and Country Music Hall of Fame Series.

Wise's most famous song was "Orange Blossom Special," which he first recorded with Bill Monroe in 1945. The song has since been covered by numerous artists and remains a bluegrass classic.

An interesting fact about Chubby Wise is that he was the first fiddler to record a song with Bill Monroe. This marked the beginning of a successful collaboration between the two men, which lasted over 10 years.
