Free Music Review: Last of their Kind...Just in Time
Hit: 5 Stars
Just since 1998, we have lost many major figures in the wonderful musical legacy that is the Carter Family. The deaths of Helen, Anita and June Carter have completely erased any chance we may ever have of hearing anything that sounds close to The Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle. Fortunately, Dualtone records have taken an interest in the Carter Family. Sadly, they did so just in time.
Joe Carter, the extremely talented but little recorded son of Sara and A. P. Carter died not too long after the realease of this CD. He is joined by his sister, Janette. She is the last surviving "second generation" member of the Carter Family. Her talent as a songwriter and a vocalist shines in this collection.
Dualtone did a great job by letting Janette and Joe perform as they have for years, with simple arrangements and sparse insturmentation. The effect is simply breathtaking. This CD contains a mixture of Carter Family songs, along with some original compositions by Janette and Joe.
If you want to know what country music is all about, you should give this CD a listen. Janette's writing, in particular, is very similar to that of her father's. Her songs contain rich, vivid imagery that connects the listener to things buried deeply in their soul. The songs are about memories, love, tragedy and hope. Listening to the CD is a bit like opening a treasured box of forgotten momentos found in your grandparents' home or turning the pages of the family bible and finding a delicate, pressed rose.
We owe Dualtone a debt of gratitude for having the good sense to preserve this wonderful chapter in the history of the Carter Family. It is difficult to select favorite cuts from the album because they are all gems! Some of the good ones include Joe's hilarious "Pole it Reba." Janette's "Close of a Day" is heartbreaking and beautiful. Adding Janette's son, Dale, to "Poor Orphan Child" gives hope that the Carter Family legacy will continue for years to come. He does an excellent job blending his lead vocal with Joe and Janette's harmony.
One more thing...If you are even a casual listener to country music, you should travel to the Carter Family Fold to hear some of the music live. It is like a visit to the hold land of American country, folk and bluegrass music. Once you experience the Fold and the Carter estate, you'll find that the music sounds even better and that the lyrics become even more meaningful.
