| Mike Seeger toured with
Maybelle Carter and visited with Sara on several occasions, learning
their styles intimately. He teaches how to get the famous Carter
Family guitar sound and incorporate it into some of their most significant
songs. Mike is joined by Janette Carter, who offers reminiscences
of the family, demonstrates her mother Sara's guitar playing, and
sings on most of the songs. |

The Carter Family |
|
| This CD contains 20 tracks from the 1930's, so it is
from the middle of the group's career. The quality of the recording
is excellent as it is from a remastered original recording, and you
can hear Maybelle's excellent playing very clearly. |

Clarence White |
|
| A very unique CD! This collection of solo acoustic
flatpicking guitar recordings was discovered in the personal tape
library of Clarence White. Offers all flatpickers the opportunity
to hear Clarence by himself on 33 great Bluegrass tunes. |
