Songs of the Carter Family is a 2000 album by Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin devoted entirely to the repertoire of the Carter Family, the Virginia group whose recordings for Ralph Peer beginning in 1927 form the bedrock of the country and bluegrass songbook. Stecher and Brislin approach the material with close attention to original arrangements and instrumental textures rather than treating it as mere vehicles for interpretation. The album functions both as tribute and as act of preservation, reminding listeners of the depth and variety of the Carter catalog beyond its most familiar entries like 'Wildwood Flower' and 'Keep on the Sunny Side.'
