The Carter Sisters - Maybelle Anita June Helen
Review by cathleen rodriguez
The Carter Sisters' album Maybelle Anita June Helen is a stunning display of country music at its finest. The trio of sisters, consisting of June, Anita, and Helen, showcase their impeccable harmonies and musicianship throughout the album.
One of the standout tracks is "Wildwood Flower," which highlights Maybelle's virtuosic guitar playing and the sisters' tight harmonies. "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" is another standout track with its haunting melody and emotional vocals.
The album also features several original compositions, including "Lonesome Homesick Blues," which showcases the sisters' songwriting abilities. The album's production is clean and crisp, allowing the sisters' voices and instruments to shine.

Notes
Recording 1952 - 1954About The Carter Sisters
In March 1943, when the original Carter Family trio stopped recording together after their WBT-AM contract ended, Maybelle Carter formed "Maybelle Carter & the Carter Sisters" with her three daughters June, Helen and Anita. Maybelle's daughters had frequently appeared with The Carter Family on their radio broadcasts of the early 1940s.
The group was said to have been a mix of traditional songs of the original Carter Family with pop, gospel, and vaudeville comedy. Each daughter made her own contribution to the band.
Helen: vocals, guitar, and accordion
Anita: vocals, guitar, and bass fiddle
June: vocals, autoharp, guitar, banjo, piano, dance, and comedy (Although she could carry a tune, June struggled with pitch problems and soon began to focus more on her comedic addition to the group than her singing.)
Tthe group released its first record on February 2, 1949, produced in Atlanta, Georgia through RCA Victor records
