                            "On my last visit [to the Carter Family Fold]
                                             I saw the Red Clay Ramblers, and they were great."

                                                                                                            --Johnny Cash

                                          “Though they're a walking encyclopedia of Americana,
                                             the Ramblers never forget they're up there to
                                              entertain…  and their music is a potpourri plucked
                                          from the mind set of All Things Considered and
                                      delivered with a tongue-in-cheek twang.”
