About Sara Carter

Sara Elizabeth Carter was an American country music musician, singer, and songwriter. Remembered mostly for her deep, distinctive, mature singing voice, she was the lead singer on most of the recordings of the historic Carter Family act in the 1920s and 1930s. In her earliest recordings her voice was pitched very high. P. began performing as the Carter Family, perhaps the first commercial rural country music group. In the early 1970s, Sara and Maybelle reunited to appear on Johnny Cash's network television show and to perform together at the first annual A.P. The Carter Family recordings of these tunes brought the songs worldwide fame.
