 | | A good introduction to an influential family : In the twenties and thirties, country music was just beginning to assert its own identity separate from folk music but the Carter family's music was hugely influential in the development of both country and folk music in America. | | | The Carter Family: A Cornerstone of American Popular Music : The Carter Family has often been called the first family of country music, and no better argument for this claim can be made than this massive 12 CD set. | | | Carter Family : It's a great addition to my collection of old country music songs from my youth. |

| | The Carter family: pioneer country music singers |
| | When the Carter Family made their first country music recordings for Victor Records, in 1927, they created a musical style that persists to this day. | | | The Carter Family was not the first country music group and certainly not the first to make records. | | | But the Carter Family, according to some scholars, heralded the beginning of modern country music -- a major break from the string bands that had recorded up to that time. |

| | The Carter Family also fit Peer's marketing strategy; Peer was capitalizing on the demand for "old-fashioned" or "hillbilly" music and was looking for artists that knew traditional songs that had not been copyrighted or who could write original songs that sounded old-fashioned. | | | Perhaps the Carter Family's greatest contribution to country music is the vast number of traditional songs that A.P. preserved and copyrighted over the years. | | | The Carters had recently unsuccessfully auditioned for another company but impressed Peer who immediately recorded and released six of their songs. |

| | In 1970, the Carter Family became the first group to be elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame, which is a fitting tribute to their immense influence and legacy. | | | The Carter Family signed with Victor in 1928, and over the next seven years the group recorded most of its most famous songs, including "Wabash Cannonball," "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes," "John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man," "Wildwood Flower," and "Keep on the Sunny Side," which became the Carters' signature song. | | | The Carters recorded six tracks, including "The Wandering Boy" and "Single Girl, Married Girl." Victor released several of the songs as singles, and when the records sold well, the label offered the group a long-range contract. |

| | The Carter Family |
| | The Carter Family from the Blue Ridge Mountains were the first family of country music, and aspects of their sound are still audible in bluegrass hillbillies and countrypolitan charttoppers a full 70 years after the original Carters made their first recordings. | | | Rather, the family's voluminous popular recordings for Victor -- now being methodically reissued by Boston-based Rounder Records -- are the very fabric of country music history. | | | Between 250 and 300 recordings, including such popular songs as "Keep on the Sunny Side" and an early recorded rendition of the standard "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," vaulted the trio to the status of country-music legends. |

| | Carter Family Discography -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music |
| | Over the years, the Carter Family recorded dozens of songs which are now country and bluegrass standards, and Maybelle Carter is often credited as one of the most influential acoustic guitarists in country history -- her then-unique style is one of the models that modern flatpicking was built on. | | | The original Carter Family, consisting of folklorist A.P. Carter, his wife Sara and her cousin, Maybelle, was not only one of the most influential groups in country music history, they were also one of the most wonderful to listen to. | | | Although the Carter Family had been performing together much earlier, they were "discovered" by Victor Records talent scout Ralph Peer in 1927, when he set up a makeshift recording studio in the border town of Bristol, Tennessee, and recorded as much of the local talent as he was able. |

| | Hearing five CDs' worth of music from the Carter Family is almost sensory overload--from the initial 1927 Bristol sessions, which Johnny Cash hailed as "the single most important event in the history of country music," to their depression-era recordings. | | | Unlike their musical peers in the late '20s and early '30s, the Carters weren't just playing "hillbilly" music; this was, quite simply, country music, and their timeless output still resonates with listeners today. | | | On top of this, of course, AP Carter had been known since he was a boy for singing songs, teaching singing schools, being willing to walk all day up and down the Southside Virginia mountains to find a good singer or good music. |

| | The original Carter Family was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1970, and they are often called "The First Family of Country Music." In the mid-1990s, Rounder Records released eight compact discs containing all of their RCA Victor recordings. | | | Seventy years after the Carter Family first began recording, their timeless music continued to interest and influence listeners. | | | When the Carter Family recorded songs discovered by A.P., he usually received credit for the arrangement, a common practice that allowed performers to receive publishing royalties for songs they did not actually write. |

| | Sara Carter would become one of the first featured singers in music — not just country music, but in any genre. | | | Peer and his engineers had set up a recording studio on the third floor of an empty hat warehouse, and the Carter Family was one of 19 acts he recorded during a two-week period. | | | Maybelle was already an accomplished musician, and her guitar style would play an important role in the development of commercial country music. |

| | This renowned reunion of Sara and Maybelle Carter (with Sara's ex-husband A.P.'s son Joe filling in on guitar and bass vocals) marked the finest recording made by members of the Carter Family since their 1944 dissolution. | | | The Carter Family showed what a couple of hundred years of Appalachian isolation could do to the Anglo-Celtic ballads on which country music was based. | | | Rounder is in the process of reissuing all of the Carters' RCA recordings. |

Nearly every bluegrass, old-time, or folk singer of the past 50 years, famous or not, has more than one Carter Family song up his or her sleeve. | | | Perhaps their most famous song is, "Will the Circle be Unbroken."

| | Birthplace of Country Music Alliance - The Carter Family |
| | The Carters got together for recording sessions for several years, but both women, who did most of the singing on the records were busy having children and raising families, so management of the group was left to A.P. and Peer. | | | Country music owes much to this legendary first family of Country music, not only for the dozens of songs which became standards, but also for their pattern of harmony singing which still inspires singers today. | | | The sons and daughters and cousins of the original Carter Family have carried on the tradition of music in a variety of ways. |

| | Even throughout the long and painful breakup, the Carters kept performing together, singing an ever-widening range of new songs they wrote or old songs they remade: songs of love, of betrayal, and of the death of fondest hopes. | | | By the early 1930s, the Carter Family was the most bankable country music group in America, with total sales of more than a million records. | | | They did their last radio show together in 1942, after which Maybelle Carter, who has been called the "Queen of Country Music," continued the tradition and her career with her three daughters, Anita, Helen, and June who is married to Johnny Cash. |

| | The Carters had recorded upwards of 350 songs in their career and had created a musical influence far more extensive than anyone ever imagined. | | | The song (also, as the story goes) was “Engine 143.” Sara had also learned to play and sing through her family’s influence and, in addition to the autoharp, played guitar and banjo. | | | They were billed as “Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters.” Then, in about 1952, A. and Sara decided to put the group back together with their own offspring and do a special concert in Maces Spring. |

P., Sara, and Maybelle were still at the peak of their performing careers. | | | They never really “crossed over” to the huge popular audiences of network radio, Hollywood films, and big-time vaudeville. |
