About The Unbroken Circle - The Musical Heritage Of The
Product Description Somewhere, not long into the twentieth century, at the foot of a great limestone mountain, a young, bright blue-eyed girl picked up a guitar for the first time. This simple yet mysterious child of Virginia was then Maybelle Addington. In the quiet hollows of Appalachia near Hiltons, Virginia, where the coal smoke lay like early morning fog over the tobacco fields, she developed a style of guitar playing destined to influence musicians around the world... Artists include George Jones, Sheryl Crow, Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart, Janette & Joe Carter, John Prine, Willie Nelson, Roseanne Cash, & more. Amazon.com The title of this tribute to the alludes to their best-known spiritual, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." While that standard isn't included here, the roster of artists renews the spirit of the circle, a familial legacy that encompasses Mother Maybelle's daughter , June's husband , Johnny's daughter , and generations of artists inspired by them. Highlights range from the yelp of on "Worried Man Blues" to the surge of rockabilly energy in 's "Bear Creek Blues" to the banjo-driven, fiddle-tinged bluegrass of the 's "Rambling Boy." As for the family's performances, Rosanne brings a depth of expression to "The Winding Stream" while a sense of mortality pervades Johnny's "Engine One-Forty-Three" and June's "Hold Fast to the Right." And 's solo reading of "You Are My Flower" gives it room to bloom. Album producer John Carter Cash (son of Johnny and June, grandson of Maybelle) makes every one of these tracks feel like family. --Don McLeese
