10.1 Bill & Maggie Anderson/Lorri Carter Bennett & Ron Bill and Maggie Anderson bring to the stage a traditional music duet with guitar and dobro -- story songs, bluegrass, gospel, and recently written music in the acoustic tradition. Lorrie Carter Bennett was born with country music in her blood. By age 14, Lorrie was touring with the Carter Sisters and soon with Johnny Cash, who made a point to tell the masses how Lorrie's voice was every bit as breathtaking as her mother's. Ronnie has been playing since 1975. You won't find anyone who knows more about the Carter Family and their music or anyone who plays it with more reverence than Ronnie Williams does. (8 of 24)
