The Carter Family

The Carter Family is a country music group that was formed in the 1920s. The group was composed of A.P. Carter, his wife Sara Carter and her cousin Maybelle Carter. They are considered to be the first major country music group, and their influence has been cited as a major influence on country music as a whole.

Their standout albums include The Complete Victor Recordings (1927-1929), The Best of The Carter Family (1927-1934), and The Carter Family 1927-1934 (The Acme Sessions). Some of their most well-known songs include "Wildwood Flower," "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," and "Keep On The Sunny Side."

An interesting fact about the Carter Family is that their style of music was known as "old-time music" and was a combination of gospel, country, blues, and folk music.
