ROWAN, PETER - Carter Stanley's Eyes

2018 - Grammy-award winner and six-time Grammy nominee, Peter Rowan is a bluegrass singer-songwriter with a career spanning over five decades. This project is an album dedicated to the amazing legacy of some of the most influential artists in bluegrass history, The Carter Family and The Stanley Brothers… The guest artists include Don Rigsby, (whose involvement legitimizes the Stanley “theme” running throughout the album), mandolin and vocals; Chris Henry, mandolin and vocals; Tim O’Brien, guitar and vocals; Jack Lawrence, lead guitar; Blaine Sprouse, fiddle and bass vocals; Patrick Sauber banjo, guitar and vocals; and Paul Knight acoustic bass. Todd Pons of the Bear Wallow Bluegrass Band sings on closing song, A Vision of Mother.  “We were playing over on the Tennessee-Virginia border, and Bill Monroe asked me to drive him up to the Clinch Mountains to have a meeting with Carter Stanley. I think, now, that Carter had received bad news about his health, and Bill wanted to lend his support. We drove up there, and I knew nothing as far as Carter’s health, but he didn’t look well. It was emotional, and I made it a song, after all.” –Peter Rowan
