Carter Family
The Carter Family is a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956.
 Their music had a profound impact on bluegrass, country, Southern Gospel, pop and rock musicians as well as on the U.S. folk revival of the 1960s.
 They were the first vocal group to become country music stars.
 Their recordings of songs such as "Wabash Cannonball", "Can the Circle Be Unbroken", "Wildwood Flower", "Keep On the Sunny Side" and "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" made these songs country standards.
 The latter's tune was used for Roy Acuff's "The Great Speckled Bird", Hank Thompson's "The Wild Side of Life" and Kitty Wells' "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", making the song a hit all over again in other incarnations.
Maybelle and Ezra Carter House
Maybelle and Ezra Carter House is a historic home located at Maces Spring, Scott County, Virginia.
 The original one-story, frame dwelling was enlarged by an additional 1/2-story for more bedroom space in the 1920s-1930s.
 The 1936 remodeling resulted in a vernacular interpretation of the popular Bungalow style.
 The house is most notable for its association with the Carter Family, a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956.
 It was the home of Maybelle Addington Carter (1909–1978), who was married to Alvin Pleasant "A.P." Delaney Carter's (1891–1960) brother Ezra Carter (Eck). American folk music
The term American folk music encompasses numerous music genres, variously known as traditional music, traditional folk music, contemporary folk music, or roots music.
 Many traditional songs have been sung within the same family or folk group for generations, and sometimes trace back to such origins as Great Britain, Europe, or Africa.
 Mike Seeger once famously commented that the definition of American folk music is "...all the music that fits between the cracks." Mt. Vernon Methodist Church
Mt. Vernon Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in Maces Spring, Virginia, United States.
 It was built about 1895 and is a one-story, rectangular frame structure with gable roof and simple wooden steeple.
 The church is most notable for its association with the Carter Family, a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956.
 Behind the church is the cemetery containing the graves of Alvin Pleasant "A.P." Delaney Carter (1891–1960) and his wife Sara Dougherty Carter (1898–1979). Dock Boggs
Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (February 7, 1898 – February 7, 1971) was an influential old-time singer, songwriter and banjo player.
 His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues.
 Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, "Sugar Baby" and "Country Blues", on Harry Smith's 1951 collection "Anthology of American Folk Music".
 Boggs was first recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life.
 He was "rediscovered" during the folk music revival of the 1960s and spent much of his later life playing at folk music festivals and recording for Folkways Records. Odetta
Odetta Holmes (December 31, 1930 – December 2, 2008), known as Odetta, was an American singer, actress, guitarist, songwriter, and a civil and human rights activist, often referred to as "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement".
 Her musical repertoire consisted largely of American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals.
 An important figure in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, she influenced many of the key figures of the folk-revival of that time, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, and Janis Joplin. "
Time" magazine included her song "Take This Hammer" on its list of the 100 Greatest Popular Songs, stating that "Rosa Parks was her No. 1 fan, and Martin Luther King Jr. called her the queen of American folk music." Dave Carter
Dave Carter (August 13, 1952 – July 19, 2002) was an American folk singer-songwriter who described his style as "post-modern mythic American folk music."
 He was one half of the duo Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, who were heralded as the new "voice of modern folk music" in the months before Carter's unexpected death in July 2002.
 They were ranked as number one on the year-end list for "Top Artists" on the "Folk Music Radio Airplay Chart" for 2001 and 2002, and their popularity has endured in the years following Carter's death.
 Joan Baez who went on tour with the duo in 2002 spoke of Carter's songs in the same terms that she once used to promote a young Bob Dylan: Contemporary folk music
Contemporary folk music refers to a wide variety of genres that emerged in the mid 20th century and afterwards which were associated with traditional folk music.
 Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music.
 This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s.
 The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction.
 The transition was somewhat centered in the US and is also called the American folk music revival.
 Fusion genres such as folk rock, folktronica, and others also evolved within this phenomenon.
 While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two. A. P. and Sara Carter House
