message: I deleted: "A.P. sang bass, Sara alto, and Maybelle soprano".  After listening to a more modern CD of Maybelle singing alone, I really doubt she was a soprano.  A Web source seems to indicate that both Sara and Maybelle were altos, but given the doubt, I think it's easier just to omit the assertion.  Can anyone confirm the fact of the matter?

replies: text: According to Dawidoff, "Sara Carter was a natural alto who could sing high enough to handle soprano parts". Tiles 09:49, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers

message: Some work needs to be done to disambiguate the various articles and categories relating to singer June Carter and former president Jimmy Carter, who I don't believe are related.  There should probably be two articles, with disambig links between the two.  Also, the "Category:Carter family" needs to be split, because it has people in it relating to both families...

message: "By 1936, A.P. and Sara's marriage had dissolved. Sara married A.P.'s cousin, moved to California, and the group disbanded." This sentence should be at the top of this section to maintain timeline. 
Or the year should read "1946".
The current version is very confusing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.149.127.32 (talk) 04:30, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

message: According to http://www.hankwilliamsdiscography.com/CarterFamily/StudSessions27-42.php A "Sandra Carter" played autoharp at the 2 August 1927 recording session and contributed both autoharp and vocals to the 9 May 1928 recording session.  Can someone please verify and edit article.  PCB  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.237.47.169 (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

message: After fixing the broken reference for the material on Bob Dylan's cover of "Wayworn Traveller" and his subsequent of its music use in other songs, I discovered that that original reference did not contained any reliably-sourced information supporting it – only a reader posting a comment with that info. I've therefore replaced this reference with a  tag to encourage someone to dig up a reliable source. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The article remains oddly vague about its actual topic. In the introductory section it says 'Carter Family' was a musical group. In the 'History' section (ff.) all of a sudden it's THE Carter Family that made THEIR first recordings ('their' might still be O.K., I guess). It's never made clear what (The?) Carter Family really is. I expect something like: "Carter Family was a musical group named after their founding member's family name 'Carter'".
In the section titled 'Second generation' it eventually becomes obvious that the article actually is NOT about a musical group or band named 'Carter Family' but about a family named 'Carter' whose noted members were musically very influential. Members and descendants of the family named 'Carter' over the years formed different musical groups or worked as solo artists carrying the family name from early 20th to 21st century's music culture and business.
I came across this article looking for info on the Gibson L-5 guitar (A famed model played by Maybelle Carter). I'm not particularly interested in any of the family members or associated artists. It's odd that there's no mention of the Carter/Cash marriage (except in the 'extended' family tree), although their offspring is part of the family's?/musical group's? alleged 'Third Generation'. I imagine reading the article on 'The Beatles' when there is not a single sentence about John Lennon and Yoko Ono being married. Only the peculiar mix in their child's, musician Sean Taro Ono Lennon's name in the 'Legacy' section...
It doesn' take much. So, I'm going to add it (edit). Korinthus (talk) 23:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the group's name was "THE Carter Family" and should have a redirect from "Carter Family" instead of vice versa. Jackaroodave (talk) 13:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
