When I was little, my father took us to Jackson, Mississippi, to hear Johnny Cash sing. I'd heard Johnny Cash sing, but it wasn't until the concert, that I heard the Carter Family.
I'm posting this to say thank you to my dad for insisting we go to hear them.
I'm also posting because of something I read about the resurrection of the new folk movement. The mentioned a lot of new groups who've originated from the Deep South.
I'm not so sure that these guys are the ones to do it. After hearing music from little churches here?
I think that the "new and improved" misses the mark.
At the end of the concert, Cash, June Carter Cash, and the Carter Family sang this song.
