Winner of the 2013 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work! The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song is a rich and compelling original graphic novel that tells the story of the Carter Family--the first superstar group of country music--who made hundreds of recordings and sold millions of records. Many of their hit songs, such as "Wildwood Flower" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," have influenced countless musicians and remain timeless country standards. The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song is not only a unique illustrated biography, but a moving account that reveals the family's rise to success, their struggles along the way, and their impact on contemporary music. Illustrated with exacting detail and written in the Southern dialect of the time, its dynamic narrative is pure Americana. It is also a story of success and failure, of poverty and wealth, of racism and tolerance, of creativity and business, and of the power of music and love. Includes bonus CD with original Carter Family music. Praise for The Carter Family: "What a fine marriage of form and content! Humble and moving--straightforward with occasional breathtaking bravura passages--this book echoes the Carter Family's rough-hewn sounds. It tells of the lives, sorrows, and values of a lost America in short episodes like a giant stack of old 78s. Using the vocabulary of comic strips like Little Orphan Annie and Gasoline Alley, it's as obsessive in its dedication to vernacular craft and hard work as A.P. Carter himself. Frank Young and David Lasky have spun a work of visual music that will replay in your head and heart well after you've finished reading it."--Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer/artist of Maus "Charming, faithful, and resonant . . . will charm the pants off you." --The Comics Journal "Lasky's gorgeous artwork animates the story and evokes a mood that mirrors the era and the music." --NPR.org "Pure pleasure for anyone interested in music history." --The Seattle Times "Cracking open The Carter Family feels like putting on a vintage 78: moody hearty Americana emanates hauntingly. Enlivening this graphic biography of the legendary country music family are both Frank M. Young's dialogue, which replicates the vernacular to a T but oh so naturally, and David Lasky's understated and elegant illustrations which resonate like the music they depict." --HeebMagazine.com… (mehr)

Don't Forget This Song is the story of the Carter Family 0 the first family of country music who became superstars during the Great Depression. This book is a wonderful human-interest story that is a charming tale of how the Carter Family formed, morphed, and influenced the likes of Johnny Cash (who actually married into the family). It's a story of success and failure, poverty, wealth and the enduring power of music. The graphic novel format works well for this type of story and David Lasky's illustrations are simplistic, direct, and rustic, the perfect style for the subjects he is depicting. ( )

Terrific book. I'm sorry it came with no CD. ( )

Reminiscent of Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie and Chester Brown's historical work. A book of vignettes, rather than a full bio, but enjoyable. ( )

Okay, I've said it before, but I'm not sure the graphic novel works for me. This seemed a very light overview, I felt unsure of the veracity of the work. I found the hand written print very small and hard to decipher. I recognized a couple of stories and was surprised by others. Some stories left me wondering why (like when they were in New York driven around in a limousine and unable to get anything to eat for lack of funds). I did find good list of interviews from which the tale was taken. This is a quick read if one just wants a big picture. ( )

Competent "illustrated biography of the Carter family. Bonus: it comes with a cd. Downside: the artwork is not very good. It's hard to tell Sarah from Maybelle . If you've just discovered the Carter family, this wouldn't be a bad place to get some basic information. ( )
