Our Take

The Carter Family Collection: Vol. 2 1935-41
Rating: 8.5/10

The Carter Family may have been around for decades, but damn if they don't still know how to churn out some classic country tunes. Volume 2 of their collection from 1935-41 is a real treat for fans of that good ol' hillbilly sound.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to a simpler time when all you needed was a porch, a banjo, and some sweet harmonies to make music that tugs at your heartstrings. These tracks are like a warm hug from a favourite aunt - comforting, familiar, and slightly smelling of moonshine.

Tracks like "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man" showcase the Carter Family's ability to take traditional folk songs and make them their own with their signature blend of haunting vocals and intricate guitar work.

Sure, some of the recordings may be a bit crackly and the production a tad lo-fi, but that just adds to the charm of this collection. It's like listening to music from a bygone era - where imperfections only add to the magic.

So grab a sweet tea, put on your overalls, and let the Carter Family serenade you with tales of love, loss, and everything in between. This volume is a must-have for any true country music aficionado.
