The 79-year-old patriarch of mountain music has always had a progressive streak. His stirring rendering of 'O Death' on the 'Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?' movie soundtrack introduced him to young audiences the world over, and his latest recording, a tribute to the Carter Family, taps a contemporary fascination with roots music.
