RING OF FIRE

Description

The youngest of Mother Maybelle's three daughters, Anita Carter had a pure soprano voice that perfectly suited the folk songs she recorded for Mercury between 1962 and 1964. This material includes Carter family standards (she and her sister Helen sing Wildwood Flower) and the album's title track, whose original version by Anita is very different from that of her famous brother-in-law. This collection of 26 songs is Anita's complete output for Mercury, and one of Nashville's most successful attempts to bridge the gap between country and the emerging folk boom. Other titles include Satan's Child, Fair And Tender Ladies, All My Trials, I Never Will Marry and Bury Me Beneath The Willow.
