MOUNTAIN
HARMONY WITH CAROL DAVIS & FRIENDS - A ROSE FOR MAMA-CCD1003. With
this particular collection, North Carolina musician Carol Davis pays
tribute to her late mother with a selection of songs she learned in
childhood. Boosted by friends and guest pickers like guitarist Tony Rice
and banjoist Sammy Shelor, Carol creates 14 stellar performances,
including her own "A Rose for Mama," "Dreaming Of A Little
Cabin," "Just A Rose Will Do," "Tedious &
Tasteless," and others. "Rose for Mama" is a heartfelt
offering of musical nostalgia that will instantly stir up memories of
mother and home."

"Well,
I’ve listened to the CD a couple of times now and I must say that
from the very beginning I loved it. The more I listen the more
I find to like. Carol, you’ve done some remarkable work
here. I found the production to be perfect, which in my mind
means I didn’t notice anything out of place. Plus, I liked the
selection of songs. I’m sure the amount of time and
work that went into it was immense, but obviously the results were
worth it."

Carol, the wonderful CD was in our box this past Sunday morning
when we got to the station at 5:30 AM. I have now listened
to the entire CD and it's simply great! I shall be playing a
couple of cuts off it next week. Just wanted you to know how
much I enjoyed your talent and that of your friends on the CD.
God bless
and thanks bunches."

"G’day
Carol...
...It’s projects like yours that keep the ‘roots’ part of roots music
alive. We can all learn to sing songs but your project shows there is
a deeper and very personal meaning to the songs. It’s clear
that to you, these songs are more than just music to sing. They wrap
up a lot of your childhood too."...
