Carter Family
Currently reading a biography of perhaps one of the greatest American groups of all time, the Original Carter Family. Book is called Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone, named after their first recorded song.
For those of you not familiar with them, they virutally invented country music (along with Jimmie Rogers) and wrote such famous tunes as "Can the Circle Be Unbroken"; "Wildwood Flower"; "Hello Stranger"; "Keep On The Sunny Side"; "You Are My Flower"; "My Dixie Darlin"; "Lonesome Valley" to name a few.
Modern country is heresy compared to this music. The biography is very good.
