Carter Fans - Add to Shopping Cart!:

I recently 'discovered' the original Carter Family recordings. On this CD, it is rather poignant to hear Maybelle without Sara and AP; as if one speaker channel were missing, but don't despair. The good news is that you get to hear Maybelle! Compared to the old 78's, Maybelle's extraordinary guitar picking comes thru even more brilliantly. She is also equally awesome on the autoharp. Tracks 8 - 12 leave me speechless. Five Stars!

Pure Gold:

This is as fine a bluegrass/country/folk CD as you will find. Maybelle Carter fans will be delighted; newcomers-- is there is still anyone who fits into that category--will be overwhelmed. This CD of 22 tracks, all but one of which have never been previously recorded, is vintage Maybelle. The music is taken from her 1963 Newport Folk Festival appearance.

Maybelle plays both the guitar and autoharp on this CD and does mostly Original Carter Family songs. She demonstrates her unique "Carter Scratch" guitar... more info

So sorry I missed her:

Like many I am sure, I am so sorry I missed her when she was here with us making her beautiful music. This CD gives everyone an opportunity to spend an hour with her. She talks about her guitar and auto harp playing and the making of her music. The sound of her voice and her laughter is enjoyed here as much as the music she makes for us. She does them all here...."Gold Watch and Chain", "Wildwood Flower" and "Fair and Tender Ladies" just to name a few. The fact that she was also a fine guitar and auto harp... more info
