The Carter Family is revered as one of the founding families of country music. From 1927 through 1941, they made over 300 recordings, the sum of which formed a rich groundwork for the birth and growth of country and bluegrass music. The Stanley Brothers are recognized as one of the first groups to popularize bluegrass music. Their stellar trademark vocals, excellently crafted original material, and dynamic instrumental work have endeared them to a legion of fans for more than half a century. Any grouping of songs recorded by the Stanley Brothers is always a cause for celebration. When Carter and Ralph Stanley teamed up to pick and sing on a fantastic batch of songs by the First Family of Country Music it's a winning combination that can't be beat.
