Speaker Session: Dr. Randal Williams on The Carter Family: A Representation of the Sacred Ideal in Early Country Music – Virtual Only

Join us at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum on Tuesday, December 10, 7:00 p.m. for our monthly Speaker Sessions with Randal Stiles on "The Carter Family: A Representation of the Sacred Ideal in Early Country Music." The Carter Family, even though they had a wide repertoire of songs from various genres, are often remembered sentimentally as singers of sacred religious songs. They represent the sacred ideal in early country music, which can be heard in their music and discerned in their choice of musical material and in their collective public persona.
