i think what xms means is that there are other musicians who can do it. obviously, it's a very very difficult thing to do! first of all, there are very few fiddlers, second of all there are even fewer fiddlers who can do it! tim does a wonderful job of it. there are other, lesser known fiddlers who do a wonderful job of it as well and i think that is all xms is saying
Tim O'brien is a national tresure and musical genius. Any instrument he picks up he can slay! .......AND sing at the same time. I'm glad he focused on bluegrass and old timey music. He would be a master at any genre he attempted.
I saw him perform this at Fiddle Tunes 2008 in an unmic'd hall - I was at the back and could hear both the fiddle and vocals clear as a bell. This guy is amazing.

of all Tim's amazing talents, his ability to sing and play the fiddle at the same time is astonishing.
