“You cook me fried chicken and hot biscuits, you serve it to me in bed, you pick the seeds out of my watermelon, baby, and put a pillow under my head!” – “Southern Country Boy,” The Carter Brothers
Back in their ’80s boot-legging heyday, Britain’s Charly Records issued Blues In Session, the first comprehensive compilation of the Carter Brothers. In the brilliantly snooty, utterly condescending words of English liner-note writer Cliff White—who may or may not have had some personal experience with them—the Brothers were waxed about thusly: “Obscure they were, and pretty short-lived as a recording team, but when they were good, they were very, very good.” Then, in parentheses, our faithfully critical scribe couldn’t help but add: “And when they were bad they were God-damned awful, however you’re not being subjected to their lapses here.”
