Performer: The Carter Family
Distributor: What Records? Notes: Given A.P. Carter's penchant for choosing classic Appalachian folk songs and gently tweaking the arrangements, the template for what the Carter Family accomplished was unchanging, and they remain one of the most important and influential groups in the history of American music. This two-disc set has all of the trio's signature and key songs, including "John Hardy," "Can the Circle Be Unbroken?," "Wildwood Flower," "Keep on the Sunny Side," "Wabash Cannonball," "Coal Miner's Blues," and "No Depression," among many others. ~ Steve Leggett
Most music historians trace country's two main strands to its first superstars: blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers, and balladeers the Carter Family. Their classic repertoire, haunting vocal harmonies, and Maybelle's distinctive guitar style have kept their old-time music relevant and moving to the modern day. The original group broke up in 1943, and the name was adapted by one member (Mother Maybelle) and her three daughters (June Carter Cash among them), and various combination of Carters performed and recorded in the '50s and '60s.
