Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? is the first major biography of
the Carter Family, the musical pioneers who almost single-handedly
created the sounds and traditions that grew into modern folk, country,
and bluegrass music. Meticulously researched and lovingly written, it is
a look at a world and a culture that, rather than passing, has
continued to exist in the music that is the legacy of the Carters --
songs that have shaped and influenced generations of artists who have
followed them.
Brilliant in insight and execution,
Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?
is also an in-depth study of A.P., Sara, and Maybelle Carter, and their
bittersweet story of love and fulfillment, sadness and loss. The result
is more than just a biography of a family; it is also a journey into
another time, almost another world, and theirs is a story that resonates
today and lives on in the timeless music they created.
