Response to the project has been of global proportions. Ludwig tells us, "The music is playing all over the world. We have had reports from Europe, Australia, and of course from all over the US."

While the current release is being marketed primarily to the bluegrass music community, Ludwig informs us that Sphere Records is "going to repackage it and market it to the Classic Country and Americana markets next."

Lorrie Davis Bennett, the granddaughter of Maybelle Carter of the original Carter Family and daughter of Anita Carter, is very pleased with the new CD. Two of Anita's favorite Carter Family songs, "Amber Tresses" and "Winding Stream," are included in the new release. Bennett said she knew the two favorites were going to be included, "but it was a pleasant surprise hearing them the way they were done." Asked what the Carter sisters would think of the new release, Bennett said, "They would be very happy. They would really like it."

The new CD can be purchased at www.CarterFamilyCD.com or by calling 1-800-889-4025. It is also available on Amazon.com.

The original Carter Family, A.P. Carter, Sara Carter and Maybelle Carter– first recorded in 1927. The original family disbanded in the early 1940s, and Mother Maybelle formed a group with her daughters, Helen, Anita and June.
