Before the Carter Family had their breakthrough moment at the Bristol Sessions, they (or at least, Sara and A.P.) auditioned for another record label:
Brunswick Records. Frank and I are excited to present a full chapter from our graphic novel which tells the story of this earlier and less successful attempt to become recording artists.
Because there is little to no documentation of the event (no one can even seem to agree what city it was in), this is our vision of what may have happened at the Brunswick Session. All we really know is that A.P. was asked to play the fiddle on record and he refused.
The year is 1925, the place is Poor Valley, Virginia, on the modest farm of Alvin Pleasant and Sara Carter...
We hope you enjoyed this chapter. Learn what happens next in the graphic novel
Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song, from Abrams Comicarts this fall...
