The Carter Family Project [via mefi projects] To quote the original post: "We're recording every single song the Carter Family ever cut. In order. One per day. In one or two takes. And we've got some real good guest stars, too."

Every human being should listen to the cover of Diamond in the Rough, just gorgeous, restrained, and haunting...

Thanks, all! We'd like to make podcasts, but we don't know how. A friend who makes web sites for a living has offered to help, so it may happen eventually, either when he has time or we learn how to do it ourselves.
