American Epic: The Best of The Carter Family 180g LP

Details Genre: Folk Label: Third Man Records Format: 33RPM, Size: 12″ 180g Vinyl LP! The Carter Family, a family vocal group from Appalachian Virginia, were the most impactful discovery of talent scout Ralph Peer and the first vocal group to become country music stars. Apart from the beautiful harmonies that can only come from kin, Mother Maybelle Carter pioneered “scratch” style guitar picking, a clever synthesis of autoharp, banjo and guitar picking, and for years served as a matriarchal figure in the Grand Ole Opry.
