Delaney Carter, his wife Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle changed the course of country - and popular - music. They did it with haunting harmonies, fine guitar playing and a vast repertoire of murder ballads, gospel tunes, love songs, and Appalachian folk melodies which would be covered by musicians for decades. And this wasn't just the often derided 'hillbilly' music; this was something timeless, that defies definition and which still resonates. Our five-CD collection is the most complete collection of their early output - from the initial 1927 Bristol 'Big Bang' sessions to their depression-era recordings. Even today, Sara Carter's voice sounds aching, yet empowered. Whether they're yodelling through The Foggy Mountain Top, singing a feminist anthem like Single Girl, Married Girl, or harmonizing with Maybelle on Worried Man Blues, you can hear the Carters' huge influence on country music. A must-have AMAZON JSP's five-CD collection is easily the most complete, essential collection of the Carter Family's music available, capturing and remastering their RCA Victor recordings (their later, less-seminal sessions for Decca and the American Record Company are not included). The trio's setup was primitive enough--guitar, Autoharp and vocals--but in the late 1920s, AP Delaney Carter, his wife Sara and his sister-in-law Maybelle would change (chart?) the course of country music forever. They did it with haunting harmonies, incredible guitar playing (thanks to Maybelle's driving strums on her Gibson L-5 guitar) and a vast repertoire that included murder ballads, gospel tunes, love songs and Appalachian folk tunes--many of which would be covered by musicians for decades to come. Unlike their musical peers in the late 1920s 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. 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. Even today, Sara Carter's voice sounds aching, yet empowered. Whether they're yodelling through "The Foggy Mountain Top", singing a feminist anthem such as "Single Girl, Married Girl", or harmonising with Maybelle on "Worried Man Blues", you can hear the Carters' profound influence on country music. --Jason VerlindeArtist: The Carter FamilyMPN: JSPCD7701Style: CountryRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
