Like Lutz, most of the attendees come
simply to have a good time. But Janette’s goal is more
personal; she founded the non-profit music Fold in the 1970s
to honour the Original Carter Family, which included her
parents, Sara and A P Carter, and her aunt May belle, whose
daughter June, also an accomplished performer, is married to
Johnny Cash.
In 1927, the group auditioned for the
Victor Talking Machine Company and was granted a recording
session in nearby Bristol, Tennessee. V A., a
border-straddling town now considered by many to be the
“Birthplace of Country Gospel music lyrics.”
These recordings are credited with sparking the modern
country music movement, leading many historians to declare
the Carters the “First Family of Country Music.” The band
eventually recorded more than 300 songs, earning worldwide
acclaim and influencing musicians for generations.
“Before he died, my daddy asked me to try
to carry on his music, and I told him I would,” Janette
explains. “And when you make a promise, you keep it if you
possibly can.” Christian music lyrics praises God.
