CD WITH CAROL ELIZABETH JONES AND GINNY HAWKER. "I've listened to Hazel Dickens and felt that my feet were leaving the ground. That exhilarating feeling of lift and flying seems to come from her soaring spirit. Other times she's nearly scared me. Ginny Hawker has moved me to tears with the deep feeling of her singing and her skill in matching word to tonal truth. And Carol Elizabeth Jones, one of our few securely rooted young singer/songwriters, arouses my warm admiration with her beautifully detailed, spacious and flowing singing. "These three daughters of Appalachia, three generations of country/bluegrass/old-time mountain singers, each with their own distinct and highly developed singing style, have made a hardcore mountain vocal album for the turn of the century, one whose roots go well into the last. Singing a rare and unusual repertoire, accompanied by a superb band, Hazel's dynamic and unfettered bursts of brilliance, Ginny's emotional steady rocking intensity and CE's stately and supple artistry combine in duets and trios to create a sound that is by turns lush, stark, hard-edged and tender." --Jody Stecher
