Cracks In the Floor

"EXTRA"......See Danny Reid Carter's solo CD 'BARCELONA'....AND...Tim carter's solo CD 'Bang Bang'.....HERE, at CD Baby...! "The Carter Brothers" "Cracks In the Floor" With very special guests: Vassar Clements, Alison Brown, Darol Anger, Rob Ickes, Kenny Malone and other dear and talented friends! "Yes, the Carter Brothers are kin to the Carter family, but don't let that fool you: the stuff they're peddling ain't old time mountain music....and I say that as a compliment." Jay Hardwig...Smokey Mountain News "The Carter Brothers know no fear. Tim and Danny take no prisoners, accept no excuses and staunchly insist on doing it their way. Thumbing their noses at convention, laughing maniacally in the face of the collective 'wisdom' of the music establishment, this intrepid and dynamic duo moves incessantly forward with reckless abandon...forging, refining and perfecting their own instantly recognizable, unforgettable and compelling sound. In a world rife with gifted musicians, Tim and Danny not only stand alone, but manage to raise the bar for everyone in the process." Dave Higgs...National Public Radio Hi folks...Its hard to imagine its been almost 4 years since the "CedarHouse" album. We offer our profound thanks to all of you who helped make it such a success. It was, most certainly a labor of love for Tim and myself...to have it so richly rewarded and accepted by our heroes, peers and fans is a special gift that we will always remember. "Cracks In the Floor", I think, follows the same path with perhaps a bit more focus. It was 1 ½ years in the making here in our own "TreeHouse Studio" outside of Nashville. I learned a few thing about myself and others during this experience...many years ago I used to picture Vassar Clements as one of the greatest in the world, and he still is but now I look at him as also one of the nicest, kindest and most loving people I have ever known...the Man has more soul than most of us have in our little finger. Many days and (mostly) nights my Brother, myself and Vassar sat here in the studio drinking strong coffee and listening to Vassar 'blow us away' playing some tunes that we had arranged especially around him....He said that he loved what we were doing musically and he rewarded us, and himself with some of the fieriest, most inspired fiddling that I've ever heard him play...we challenged him and he likes that...it was his idea to start the "Carter Brothers/Vassar Clements Band"....we talked of the past and future. We are most honored to consider Vassar as a very dear and close friend as well as a musical compadre. We hope that you enjoy our effort...dc
