American Epic: Best Of The Carter Family

Vinyl.  Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in tip-on jacket with soft touch finish The Carter Family, a family vocal group from Appalachian Virginia, were the most impactful discovery of talent scout Ralph Peer and the first vocal group to become Country music stars.  Apart from the beautiful harmonies that can only come from kin, Mother Maybelle Carter pioneered scratch style guitar picking, a clever synthesis of autoharp, banjo and guitar picking, and for years served as a matriarchal figure in the Grand Ole Opry.
