Editoral Review Featuring the voices of A. The original Carter Family recordings are one of America's greatest musical treasures. P. Carter, his then-wife, Sara, and Maybelle Carter, this trio helped shape the face of modern country music. Originally released on RCA Victor's budget subsidiary, Bluebird Records, these sessions reflect the Carter Family at their peak. Using folk songs from the hills of Tennessee and Virginia that date back to the late 1800s, the Carters sing classics like "East Tennessee Blues" and "Are You Tired of Me My Darling?" The trio's harmonies on this recording must be acknowledged as influential to future generations of country singers. Incorporating bluegrass, gospel, and even vaudeville songs into their repertoire, the Carter Family evoke the spirit of the heartland in no uncertain terms. --Mitch Myers ..
