"Balin" is Canadian singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith's 12th album. Recorded mostly live off the floor and around three microphones, "Balin" will take you to the dusty back porches of the dirty thirties. It is seventeen songs covering a variety of Fred's favorite subjects - trains, farming, machinery and livestock - all to the tune of banjos and fiddles, not to mention fantastic harmonies. "Balin" features Willie P Bennet on madolin, harmonica and vocals, Darcy Yates on bass and vocals, Roger Marin on lead acoustic guitar and baritone vocals, Dan Walsh on dobro, John P Allen on fiddle, Craig Bignell on banjo, and Fred himself on acoustic guitar, claw style banjo and lead vocals.
