features an interesting extended family tree which gves a clear picture
of Carlene's family background
The
Carter Family's classic repertoire, haunting vocal harmonies, and Maybelle's distinctive
guitar style have kept their old-time music relevant and moving to the modern
day. The original group broke up in 1943, and the name was adapted by one member
(Mother Maybelle) and her three daughters (June Carter Cash among them), and various
combinations of Carters have performed and recorded from the 50's to the present.
