Book Reviews of Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?: The Carter Family and Their Legacy in American Music
Book Review: A Real Story About Real Music And Real Folks
Summary: 5 Stars
Before The Jackson 5, before The Osmonds, before any of the other family or sibling musical bands, the Carter Family laid the foundations of modern music and the formula for success. The job of tracking the multiple personalities and their varied personal interests and depth of commitment to their craft is a collossal research effort. Making sense of this is a writing task from hell. Presenting the story in the same down-to-earth language and approach of the Carters' humble Virginia roots is genius!The book moves slowly, but is never dull. Reading cadence is at the same tempo of the time period and the Carters as musicians and artists.
Thank you co-writers for this genuine treasure. It's one of the definitive studies of a legendary American family and the raw beginnings of our entertainment world. It's so nice to remember that once radio was this vital and not just today's centally programmed, demographic-driven, focus-group-approved "formats."
