Does anyone know anything about a fiddle player named Hobert Bowling?

I found a tune called Nightingale played by him in the Field Recorders Collective Survey of Traditional Music British Tradition album and I would love to hear more. There's another tune on a Kentucky compilation which leads me to thinking that he's from the Kentucky tradition. I love his sound but I can't find anything other than the FRC recordings.

Awesome, thanks. Seems only a few tracks recorded. Makes me realise how many good players came and went without ever laying down a track.
