The Carter Family - Will My Mother Know Me There

Since for many of us in the US this holiday weekend includes a visit with family members, here is a song by a family, about family.

In addition, this is one of the Carter Family songs where A.P. adds his voice to the mix. Together with his wife and sister-in-law he creates a contrapuntal blend that somehow conveys in sound a sense of family. And if you know that A.P. and Sarah were divorced a few years later, well, that's like many families too.
