PRESS ON won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album.
For the first album in years by an artist with as many famous friends as June Carter Cash, there's a distinct absence of pomp and circumstance here. In fact, PRESS ON has a homegrown, spontaneous feel not dissimilar to Johnny Cash's AMERICAN RECORDINGS. Like that album, PRESS ON sounds like it was recorded live in a single sitting (the songs were in fact captured at a makeshift studio in a log cabin at the "Cash Compound"). The record is a raw, all-acoustic affair featuring country/bluegrass legends like Norman Blake, Rodney Crowell and Marty Stuart, as well as various members of the Cash/Carter clan. Many of the songs are June's, and there's a purity to the blend of gospel, bluegrass and country that characterizes the style. When she lends her pipes to a couple of Carter Family classics, it becomes clear that her place in country history has to do with much more than her famous last name(s).
Includes liner notes by June Carter Cash and Vicky Hamilton.
Personnel: June Carter Cash (vocals, autoharp); Johnny Cash (vocals); Norman Blake (acoustic & electric guitars, dobro); Marty Stuart (acoustic guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Rodney Crowell (acoustic guitar); Hazel Johnson (mandolin); Jason Carter (fiddle); Benmont Tench (piano); Dave Roe (bass); Rick Lonow (drums); Rosie Carter (background vocals).
Rolling Stone (5/27/99, pp.64-65) - 31/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...earthy vocals, chiming autoharp, kooky asides, little flubs and infectious laugh, as well as the players delicious acoustic licks..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/23/99, p.63) - "...Her second solo album--her first was in 1975--is autobiographical, full of dignity and toughness. With ex-sons-in-law Rodney Crowell and Marty Stuart sitting in for some fancy pickin', the circle is unbroken still." - Rating: B
Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.73) - "...One should listen to this record for its back-porch charm, for her stark voice that sounds great....this is a great record by a rich talent..."

$11.65   
WILDWOOD FLOWER won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album. "Keep On The Sunny Side" won for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. "Temptation" was nominated for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
Released shortly after June Carter Cash's death in 2003, WILDWOOD FLOWER features the country music legend's most personal, intimate music. Recorded with relatives ranging from her cousins Janet and Joe Carter (the children of A.P. and Sara Carter) to granddaughter Tiffany Anastasia Lowe (the daughter of Carlene Carter and Nick Lowe) to, of course, her husband Johnny Cash, these 13 songs have the casual, almost spontaneous quality of a family sing-along. This feeling is heightened by both the snatches of conversation between the tracks and the song selection itself, taken almost entirely from the A.P. Carter songbook. That feeling of direct lineage colors the entire record; not only are these among the finest and most archetypal country songs ever written, they're also, in a very real way, family heirlooms, no less so than a treasured photograph or piece of jewelry. As a ...
