Blues--Etta Baker & Cora Phillips
"Carolina Breakdown" (Music Maker Records) Southern sisters, Cora and Etta Reid grew up in a musical family, and Etta in particular, became a master country blues guitarist. She rarely sings, and her effort on cut 6 demonstrates her difficulty with singing and playing simultaneously, but her guitar work is really amazing. Cora joins in on guitar for some cuts, and banjo for others. Their dexterity and timing is sweet--for little old ladies even! This is a treasure of a record, heeping traditional music vibrant. All cuts are good for morning or afternoon mixes. All acoustic. A
