Old-Time Country Music Duets

notes

This long-awaited album brings together two friends who have played old-time music together for 40 years. Curt Bouterse and Bob Webb helped to perpetuate traditional American folk music on the U.S. west coast, beginning in the 1960s. Curt's name is legendary, for introducing American fiddle tunes on the hammered dulcimer. He has inspired two generations to learn to play that instrument, and he was also an early exponent of both the Southern mountains fretless "banjer" and the Carter-style autoharp. Bob has taken traditional Southern music, and the songs and shanties of deepwater sailors, to such diverse places as Poland and New Zealand. He is well-known in Europe and the U.S. as a baritone singer, who accompanies himself on the rare MacCann-duet concertina, five-string banjo and guitar. This wide-ranging CD features both artists together, and separately, playing their own accompaniments on a wide variety of instruments.

  • Worth the wait...
    author: Gilbert Head, Moonshine Arts

    A wonderful collection featuring a mix of traditional and original tunes which speak of a simpler age, and are told in a graceful style full of a virtuosity characterized by subtle, tight, and clean performances."

    I love this CD! Real music by two real musicians. These are (mostly) old time songs done in an old time fashion; which is to say, simply & without artiface. While honoring, some might say even preserving, this fine music with their elegant performances, they also manage to make the songs sound timeless & true, and therefore also contemporary. This is the real deal, & these guys deserve the American Musical Medal of Honor for loving this music & giving it back to us. Thank you, thank you!

  • Exciting Listening!
    author: Old Time Herald

    Special mention needs to be made of “Texas Rangers…” I have seldom had such vivid pictures in my mind from hearing a song as I had from listening to Bob and Curt’s arrangement, Curt freely echoing Bob’s meditative vocal phrases on the hammered dulcimer.
