The Carter Family, which included A.P. Carter; his wife, Sara Carter; and his sister-in-law Maybelle Carter, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1970 and received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2005. The group’s 1935 hit “Can the Circle be Unbroken” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1988. In 2006 the U.S. Library of Congress added the Carter Family’s song “Wildwood Flower” (1928) to the National Recording Registry, a list of audio recordings deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
