Fiddleride (2011)
Clarke Wright's first solo CD, “Fiddleride” was made with help from his hugely talented friends. It has Western Swing and Bluegrass standards as well as some originals. He picks guitar on a couple of songs too.
“What a Fiddleride it has been creating this CD. Selecting the 14 songs was hard to narrow down, but there was no debate about who I wanted to pick with on them.”

"Cowboy-Bluegrass Honky-tonk Dancehall Music"
This CD is the best of four Cassette albums that were recorded in the 1980s at Colorado Sound in Denver. The tracks were remastered by David Glasser at Airshow in Boulder, Colorado
These recordings were made "Studio Live" in the mid 1980s. There were no overdubs, remixes, auto-tune, "punches" or other modern studio tricks. What you hear on this CD is what we sounded like live in a dance hall, concert or any live situation. By recording in this manner, we captured the energy of a live performance in the studio. Each of the four albums from which these tracks are taken, was recorded in one day.
The HRB featured original songs, mostly written by Matt Clayton and G. Fred Swanson, as well as many covers of classic Country and Rock-a-Billy dance tunes.
