Meeting In The Air - Songs Of The Carter Family | Classic Country Gospel Music | Perfect for Church Worship & Family Gatherings

Product Description

Product Description "How wonderful that this 1980 recording of Carter Family music by three of the original members of the Red Clay Ramblers - Jim Watson, Mike Craver and Tommy Thompson, is now out on CD. They brought a freshness to these songs back then with their unique blend of voices - combinations of sweet and hard, intensely focused and full - and their instrumental abilities, that remains as fresh as it was 25 years ago. Tommy, of course, has gone on to his Meeting in the Air, as has Bruce Kaplan , founder of Flying Fish records, who was a loyal supporter of the Red Clay Ramblers and whose idea the album was. They would both be proud and happy that this fine recording will be out and about again. And the many fans who loved to hear Mike and Jim and Tommy sing together,and who love the Carter Family songs, will be too." ---- Alice Gerrard Review "Leaves even the most devoted Carter fans musically sated. The arrangements are understated, adding luster to this string of pearls. -- WXPN Express"The instruments are guitars, banjo, and autoharp. The vocals have a pleasant ambiance, giving them a dream-like quality." -- Rounder Records Roundup"This album calls up memories of the Carters and of a vanished rural America. A beautiful primitive." -- Noel Coppage, STEREO REVIEW, l980 About the Artist Jim Watson, Tommy Thompson and Mike Craver were three fifths of the original Red Clay Ramblers, a North Carolina band.
