Alison Brown: GRAMMY winning banjoist
Tim Carter’s music reminds me of the things I love most about playing bluegrass. There’s a real joy in his playing and singing and a great love for the music, both its tradition and the fellowship that playing with others creates. I always enjoy the chance to be a part of Tim’s recording projects and “Bang Bang” is no exception. It’s a great album, filled with tasty playing and heart felt singing. Great job Timmy! Take a listen and enjoy.
Dave Higgs: Bluegrass Breakdown Radio Show
"It's all here: breathtaking shot-from-guns picking; fascinating and intelligently crafted originals; inspired singing and imaginative arrangements that are replete with extraordinary musicianship and melodic surprises. This powerful collection is propelled by Tim's trademark woody banjo tones, uncanny sense of adventure and endless soul. With his feet firmly planted in bluegrass, but with an ear cocked towards Celtic music and the blues, Tim deftly traverses, with poignancy and immediacy, the wide gulf between such disparate subjects as snake handling, wanderlust and a son's love for his father. With "Bang, Bang," he further entrenches himself as one of the genre's premier singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalists."
Tim O'Brien: GRAMMY winning artist
Tim Carter cleans his collards on the rinse cycle of his washing machine, and he plugs his banjer into the sound system. It's just easier that way, and it still tastes and sounds the way you like it. Get with him and get comfortable because that's the way you want be. Wear your flip-flops to his gig in case there's glass in the parkin' lot, but you can listen to his new solo CD barefooted. Nice option. |
