The Carter Family with Special Guest Johnny Cash's Keep on the Sunny Side, released on Columbia Records (CL 2152) in 1964, is an original studio LP featuring "Mother" Maybelle Carter on autoharp and guitar alongside her daughters Helen Carter on accordion and piano, Anita Carter on vocals, and June Carter on vocals. Cash appears as a guest vocalist. The album's title track—first recorded for Victor in 1928—was the original Carter Family's signature; its reclamation by the second-generation lineup anchors the record in the family's deep heritage. By 1964 June and Cash were in a well-known personal and professional partnership, giving the album commercial reach well beyond the traditional country audience that had sustained the Carter name for four decades.
