Synopsis

Amazon.com

Whenever the Whites--father Buck White (on vocals, mandolin, and piano) and daughters Sharon (vocals and rhythm guitar) and Cheryl (vocals and bass)--blend their voices, the resulting harmonies are not only seamless and thrilling but as warm and reassuring as a favorite pair of slippers. As always, the foundation for these precise, yet down-home harmonies is built on Texas-born Buck White's delightfully eclectic blend of bluegrass, gospel, honky-tonk, and swing sensibilities. Daddy White's masterful picking and his daughters' rock-steady accompaniment are augmented by an all-star supporting cast including guitarist Bryan Sutton, fiddler Aubrey Haynie, and the subtle, understated brushes of drummer Kenny Malone. The Whites' old friend Emmylou Harris lends a vocal assist on their lovely revival of Mother Maybelle Carter's "Fair and Tender Ladies." Whether it's a stirring gospel tune, a sprightly swing number, a haunting, Western-flavored ballad, or a rousing instrumental, the Whites cover all their stylistic bases with warm, superb mastery. --Bob Allen

"crazy over, The Whites singing style"

J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 09/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ceili Music presents, The Whites latest recording "A Lifetime in the Making", from laid-back to jazzy-swing rhythm, this trio is "Pure Americana".The Whites music is a blend of regional roots, including uptempo Bob Wills Like "Western Swing", contemporary folk music, featuring the harmonies of Buck, Sharon and Cheryl White. Emmy Lou Harris, accompanys on a few tracks, acoustic Southern gospel, Americana, and traditional Bluegrass. A welcome addition, in todays field of music, because of their total versatility.Stand outs: "APRON STRINGS", paints a picture with music, instrumental, almost dream-like, "OLD MAN BAKER written by Buck White, with some good fiddling and pickin', "KEY TO THE KINGDOM" one of the best gospel tunes, I've heard, in a long time.Difficult, to pick highlights, all selections are inspiring, album is a "real treasure", pick this up and see if you don't agree. Makes you feel good all over - musically achieves their goal "A Lifetime in the Making" songs from the heart with Buck, Cheryl and Sharon White!Total Time: 41:11 on 12 Tracks/ Ceili Music - CEIL 2004 (2000)"

A great piece of work.

"I have followed The White from the early 80's, even before Sharon White married Ricky Skaggs (my all-time favorite bluegrass/country performer). The Whites have that amazing familial ability to harmonize perfectly. Sharon and Cheryl both have outstanding voices which only grow richer and more comfortable over the years. Buck still has it what it takes, and plays the piano and mandolin as well as ever. While, I thought this album would be more of a bluegrass nature, it has a style all it's own, not quite pure country, not quite bluegrass, some folksy stuff thrown in. I love it. It is absolutely a tremendous collection of music. A must for anyone who like the White's style of harmonizing. From the very first cut to the very last, you will stay with this CD, it will make you smile."

Foot Stomping and Uplifting...Takes me back to another time

"Introduced to The Whites through the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" movie and subsequent CD, I had the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy The Whites in concert twice in the last year. This CD is such a lovely combination of strong harmonies, foot-stomping vocals and numerous instruments completely and masterfully performed by Daddy Buck, Sharon and Cheryl. My favorite tune on the CD is track #10 - Jesus is the Missing Piece. I must have listened to it several hundred times and everytime I do, it's as if it is the first. Very inspirational, wonderfully written, and such an upbeat melody. Can't say enough positive things about this music. Can't wait for something new from them and to see The Whites again."
