The Carter Family are Country music royalty. Their influence on Twentieth Century music is well documented. A little less so is influence of Maybelle Carter’s guitar style. She was one of the first to play a bass line with her thumb on the bottom two strings while still keeping the chords playing the rhythm. Her rhythmic style and feel was so widely copied that today it’s considered the ‘Country Feel’. These recording are of the original Carter Family, before June Carter was old enough to join. All three songs were recorded on May 27 1928 in Camden, New Jersey, for the Victor Talking Machine Company.
