Free Music Review: A Great Introductory CD
Hit: 4 Stars
Let's say you have just seen The Carter Family documentary on PBS's American Experience series, and you want to explore further the music of The Carter Family. This CD is a good place to start!
This package contains selections from the group's 1938-39 Decca records, which were mostly re-recordings of their earlier Victor records. Carter Family enthusiasts may find these tracks a bit too polished and "finely tuned" to capture fully the sparkle and originality demonstrated by The Carters on their late-1920s recordings. However, I feel that the tracks on this CD show The Carter Family at the apogee of their vocal and musical talents. Sara's voice brings warmth and feeling to even the most maudlin lyrics ("Little Joe," for instance), and Maybelle's guitar playing was never better than it is on these songs. But, be warned: you will want to hear (and buy) more of The Carter Family's music once you listen to this CD!
