Greene and Lowman's "Don't Forget Me" album addresses universal and nostalgic themes of love, life and death. They tap old repertoire of A.P. Carter (Motherless Children), Delmore Brothers (Don't Forget Me), and Louvin Brothers (A Shut-In At Christmas). At the same time, Clarence Green is a noteworthy multi-instrumentalist, singer and songsmith who had a hand in writing six originals on this album. When a writer sings his own material, as he does with "The Roses" and "Jesus is the Answer," I hear a strong emotive relationship with the messages being imparted.

Guitarist and vocalist Jeff Summerow is heard on five numbers, including "No Greater Love," a song he penned with Eric Collins. Tonya Lowman has a very pleasant and smooth delivery as the lead vocalist on six songs. Her unadorned style is particularly distinguished on the album's opener "The Unquiet Grave," and closer "Teardrops Falling in the Snow." Other musicians on the album include Mike Hice (bass), Ronnie Swann (bass), Beth Jones (banjo), and Jaret Carter resophonic guitar). Swann sings lead on two songs. Swann and Greene sound like brothers from yesteryear on Clarence' original "I'm Waiting for my Daddy to Come Home." I would've enjoyed hearing the Louvin Brothers cover that song about fifty years ago. 

All songs on teh album include The Unquiet Grave, Only A Memory Away, The Roses, A Shut-In At Christmas, Wait Not, Jesus Is The Answer, Motherless Children, Autumn Love, The Wayfaring Stranger, No Greater Love, Don't Forget Me, The Worst Of December, I'm Waiting For My Daddy To Come Home, Teardrops Falling In The Snow 

From North Carolina, Greene can trace his family roots and musical interests back a few generations. His father recorded for the Columbia and Victor labels in the 1920s. Greene plays guitar, fiddle and mandolin. When Clarence sings harmony to Tonya Lowman's lead, we're in for a real spine-tingling treat on such numbers as The Unquiet Grave, Teardrops Falling In The Snow, Don't Forget Me, and Motherless Children. As part of their ministry, they often sing together in churches and other gospel venues. The other North Carolina musicians who join them provide some local mountain flavor for this solid set of thoughtful and carefully-selected songs. Their songs about Christmas, Jesus, December, family and snow were just what we need for a little inspirational sentiment and cheer on a cold winter day. (Joe Ross)
