  • The Wonderful City

    Not the usual Carter piece for the Christmas CD. This is from a session in Louisville where the Victor people were mostly interested in sure-fire sellers like Rodgers and the Carters -- so much so that funky old Burnett and Rutherford didn't even get in the door. They did manage to get some duets by Jimmie (1897-1933) and Sara (1899-1979), with Maybelle helping Jimmie on guitar.

    Jimmie Rodgers, vocal, guitar; Sara Carter, vocal; Maybelle Carter, guitar.
