built 219 days ago
If Johnny Cash was country music's soul, then The Carter Family represented its life blood. Composed of A.P., his wife Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle (June's mother), the original Carter Family were pioneers in the recording industry, as they were among the first to bring the Appalachian sound to a national audience. A.P. and Sara's daughter, Janette Carter, vowed to her father that she would keep the memory of her parents music alive, and she fulfilled that promise with The Carter Music Center.
