Review

Uncut (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Blake's musicianship and touch...is impeccable..."
Dirty Linen (p.57) - "The richness of tone, the precision of each down stroke, the rapid-fire single-note bits, the flawless intonation: This is not the picking of a front-room amateur..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "17 excellently-played old-time folk traditionals about God, love and dying with Carter Family connections."

Title Note

Features songs popularized by the Carter Family.

THE MORNING GLORY RAMBLERS is a jewel in the crown of the formidable discographies of Norman and Nancy Blake. Though the two have enjoyed an ongoing personal and professional relationship since the 1970s, their duo records are few and far between, which makes this outing all the more enjoyable. Norman participated in the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack, and both Norman and Nancy performed in the attendant DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN tours. Not surprisingly, the revitalized interest in early-20th-century rural-American forms sparked by these activities informs this 2004 release.

From the daguerreotype-like photo of the couple on the cover to the choice versions of old-time classics within, THE MORNING GLORY RAMBLERS draws a line straight back to the beginning of the Americana tradition. Treatments of songs by Johnny Matthias (1836's "The Way Worn Traveler"), the Carter Family ("Sunny Side of Life"), and Hank Williams (the little-known "Men with Broken Hearts") play out the evolution of folk and country. There are a handful of modern tunes here, but even these fit into the Blakes' age-worn, mountain-music fabric. Directly affecting, unpretentious, and wonderfully performed, this album is like a glimpse into the still-beating heart of American history.
