Their setup was primitive enough--guitar, Autoharp, and vocals--but in the late '20s the trio of A.P. Delaney Carter, his wife Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle would change (chart?) the course of country music forever. They did it with haunting harmonies, incredible guitar playing (thanks to Maybelle's driving strums on her Gibson L-5 guitar), and a vast repertoire that included murder ballads, gospel tunes, love songs, and Appalachian folk tunes--many of which would be covered by musicians for decades to come. Unlike their musical peers in the late '20s and early '30s, the Carters weren't just playing "hillbilly" music; this was, quite simply, country music, and their timeless output still resonates with listeners today. JSP's bargain-priced, five-CD collection is easily the most complete, essential collection of their music available, capturing and remastering their RCA Victor recordings (their later, less-seminal sessions for Decca and the American Record Company are not included). Hearing five CDs' worth of music from the Carter Family is almost sensory overload--from the initial 1927 Bristol sessions, which Johnny Cash hailed as "the single most important event in the history of country music," to their depression-era recordings. Even today, Sara Carter's voice sounds aching, yet empowered. Whether they're yodeling through "The Foggy Mountain Top," singing a feminist anthem like "Single Girl, Married Girl," or harmonizing with Maybelle on "Worried Man Blues," you can hear the Carters' profound influence on country music. A must-have. --Jason Verlinde

Fantastic Gift! June 26, 2008
I bought this for a friend for her retirement! She was smilin' from ear to ear!
 Good Collection But Poor Quality January 19, 2008
I have spent the past two year listening to every scrap of Carter Family music that I could find, and I was very excited to see this on Amazon. There are just so many songs! My only real complaint is that the sound quality is really bad. I realize that most of these were probably transferred from old records, but I have encountered other albums in the past where the sound quality was as crisp as a newly recorded song. I just feel like there was little effort put into the restoration of these tracks.
A new favorite November 14, 2007
Almost no fluff, which is quite a statement for the amount of music here. There's a lot of music in my house - including my new Jimmie Rodgers JSP "box set" - that isn't being listened to because of this stuff. Gorgeous!
Mountain Classic November 13, 2007
A major root of many types of modern musical expression. The Carter collection is a 'must have' for lovers of mountain and county music.

The Carter Family is the archetype of American Music. This JSP collection faithfully documents the original 78 rpm recordings in chronological order. Though the digital remastering is basic, having the complete sessions is indispensable.
