This is a Tribute to the original Carter Family- AP, Sarah & Maybelle Carter. Artists are Jenee Fleenor, Brennen Leigh and Brandon Rickman. When The Carter Family stepped inside a temporary recording studio in Bristol, Tennessee in 1927 for the very first time they could not have imagined they were making musical history. Hoping only to earn a few extra dollars with their music, the trio wasn’t just breaking new ground – they were helping to lay a firm foundation for a musical genre that flourishes nearly a century later. This little family band from Maces Springs, Virginia included A.P. (Alvin Pleasant) Delaney Carter, his wife Sara, and Maybelle Carter (Sara’s cousin), wife of Ezra Carter (A.P.’s brother). A.P. had learned that a talent scout from the Victor Talking Machine Company would be in Bristol for two weeks to record regional musicians. He convinced his wife and sister-in-law to make the trip with him. That humble recording session launched the careers of The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers and eventually became known as “the Big Bang of Country Music.” In 1998, Congress declared Bristol “the Birthplace of Country Music.” And that little mountain trio, The Carter Family, cast a giant footprint in which every country and bluegrass musician has since followed.
