The Burnett Sisters make for a fascinating YouTube experience, in which you can see them in their different phases, watching their development, changes in roster, and other human interest points.
They and others have recorded enough videos of them so that it is possible to take a somewhat aimless sojourn thru their world. Instead of looking for their most popular videos, you can just slow down and take it all in. One of the reasons for their appeal, aside from their obvious beauty, is that they so handily evoke for us lost worlds of mountain Bluegrass and old timey vigor.
Well, that makes sense, as the sisters grew up in Boone, N.C., just a holler or two down from Doc Watson’s hometown of Deep Gap, N.C.
