Various The Winding Stream - The Carters, The Cashes And The Course Of Country Music (CD)

(Omnivore Recordings) 16 tracks

With the award-winning film “The Winding Stream: The Carters, The Cashes And The Course Of Country Music”, director Beth Harrington documents the career of the famous country formation The Carter Family and thus takes a look at the origins of American roots music, which later became known under the generic term country. The soundtrack takes us on a sonic journey through the history of American music culture: from early recordings by The Carter Family, through classics such as George Jones and Johnny Cash, to the present day with Rosanne Cash and John Prine.
