The Carter Family: Don't Forget this Song
By: Frank M. Young
Genre: Adult graphic novel
Pages: 192

Read: November
3 out of 5
A graphic portrayal
of June Carter-Cash's musical family - it does not cover June's life but rather
the life of her parent's. Even more so her aunt, uncle, and cousins. This was a
huge disappointment. I was definitely looking forward to reading about June,
her sisters, and Maybelle, which were the individuals I thought made up The
Carter Family musical group . It was actually Alvin Pleasant (A.P.), Maybelle's
brother-in-law, that began the group. He was a huge jerk, and worse, to
everyone. I honestly don't know how any
of them put up with him. I was blown
away with how he is portrayed in this graphic novel - nothing was held back. I appreciated that there was a family tree at
the beginning since I referred to it often.
Also, my copy included a music CD as well, but only 4 songs :(
