wcbrenner's review against another edition
5.0
This book is incredibly well written and researched. Not only does it portray the lives of the original Carter family (A.P., Sara, and Maybelle), but it also delves into the lives of all of their extended family as well as prominent stars such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and more. Coming from someone who isn't usually interested in historical nonfiction, this book is riddled with interesting information that will keep you reading, and provide ample context for the rise of America's growing music industry of the early 1900's.

So, this is a subject matter I enjoy, but I'm not the biggest fan of these authors' writing style.
