Anita Carter ~ Appalachian Angel (2004)
Her recordings 1950-1972 & 1996. The only thing that's really left out here in regards to her work as a solo artist is the rare CD she did in the early 90's for the House of Cash label and you can find that on my blog, also. Because I own this set, I am also posting it in FLAC since it was recently deleted from Bear Family's catalogue.
