	Carter Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Carter Family was a country music group that performed and recorded between 1927 and 1943.
		The Carters got their start on July 31, 1927 when A.P. convinced Sara and Maybelle (pregnant at the time) to make the journey from Maces Springs, Virginia to Bristol, Tennessee to audition for record producer Ralph Peer who was seeking new talent for the relatively embryonic recording industry.
		Beginning with the 1939/1940 season, June Carter (middle daughter of Ezra (Eck) Carter and Maybelle Carter) joined the group, this time in San Antonio, Texas, where the programs were pre-recorded and distributed to multiple border radio stations (XELO, XEG, XERB, and XEPN).

		Sara accompanied her on the autoharp or on a second guitar, while A.P. devoted his talent to singing in a haunting though idiosyncratic bass or baritone.
		For the next few years, the Carters only saw each other at recording sessions, partially because the Depression had cut into the country audience and partially because the women were raising their families.
		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: Can the Circle Be Unbroken - PopMatters Music Review
		When A.P. met Sara Dougherty (who, according to legend, was sitting on her front porch playing the autoharp and singing "Engine 143") and the two began harmonizing -- vocally, though not so successfully in matrimony -- a trailhead was marked for a new style of country music.
		She developed what came to be known as "Carter picking," a style that involved playing the melody on the bass strings with the thumb while strumming the rhythm on the treble strings.
		Sara delivered her vocals in a thick-as-mud southern Appalachian dialect that nary a Hollywood or Broadway actor has adequately imitated (for example, "air" for "hour," "warsh" for "wash," and "kwar" for "choir").

		Sara and her new husband moved permanently to California, A.P. went back to the old home place, and Maybelle, together with her three daughters, created an exciting new act and hit the road.

	Carter Family Discography -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music
		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.
		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.
		Much of their old-timey material was gathered together by A.P. Carter who, in the fashion of the times, copyrighted dozens of old-timey folk songs under his own name, so that he could make money on the publishing and performace rights.

		To call the Carter Family “the first family of country music,” as many do, is a historical truth.
		During the height of their popularity, the Carters were often separated for various reasons.
		By the mid-l930s, the Carters landed decent radio contracts, and by the latter part of the decade they found a lucrative job at the Texas border station XERA, Del Rio; this station would broadcast from across the Mexican border, using a more powerful signal than U.S. stations were allowed to use.
