THE CARTER FAMILY: WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN is an spicy DVD documentary from PBS, but it really could have easily been made better. As it is, it is detached the only documentary available on DVD, and it is quite involving.

It fits well as a companion fraction to the book WILL YOU MISS ME WHEN I’M GONE? by Label Zwonitzer and Charles Hirshberg. Zwonitzer appears frequently throughout this DVD.
This DVD is about 50 minutes long, with about 19 minutes of bonus material. They expend actors to recreate some scenes, but they should have marked these scenes as “recreations.” Too often they exhibit customary, generic footage, or recreations, without captioning it as stock footage or recreations. If you didn’t know better, you might believe you were seeing the valid, new Carter Family in action, but you’re not.

There is NO steady though-provoking pictures of the novel Carter Family on the DVD, though Maybelle and Sara appear too briefly in b/w TV and exciting film footage, presumably from the 1950’s (Maybelle on TV, playing some of “Wildwood Flower”) and in the 1960s, (Sara and Maybelle, elderly but serene sounding mountainous, standing around outside, playing “Sweet Fern” for the camera, appearing as the credits rollover the record at the slay of the DVD) .
It is really frustrating that they did not include these two songs as DVD bonuses, in a COMPLETE song version! Especially since the rest of the DVD uses only peaceful photos of the three novel Carter Family members.
The DVD explains a lot about their lives before the music business, the formation of the group, and the business and cultural circumstances of their influential careers! I watched this DVD after finishing my reading of the book WILL YOU MISS ME WHEN I’M GONE? and I very grand enjoyed what is on this DVD. I unbiased wish they had shared more of the live action footage that they had access to!
There are many quiet photos shown of A.P., Sara, and Maybelle which I had not seen before. The best quality photos arrive from an aborted LIFE MAGAZINE photo shoot for a veil memoir, which potentially would have boosted their careers, but was ill-timed and got bumped when the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor, and so the Carter memoir got pulled out, and was unfortunately never ran later!
The DVD tells the narrative of the strained marriage of A.P. and Sara, with a miniature more weight than what we are perhaps ragged to in 2006. I grew up in a family shattered by divorce, and I capture too worthy of that trouble for granted, maybe most of the Western culture does, since it seems to have happened to nearly everybody’s family. Perhaps we really should survey A.P. and Sara’s failed marriage as the family tragedy that it is, but it does sound weird to hear the divorce described as some enormous tragedy modern to this very eminent family. It is as if the music business chores destroyed their marriage, and A.P. could never had guessed the incredibly high designate he would pay, with his broken marriage, to keep and have the Carter Family career.
Sara Carter comes off as one of the earliest “feminists” in the entertainment industry. They showcase a recreation of them recording “Single Girl, Married Girl,” their first colossal hit, which has lyrics that envy the “freedom” of a single woman who can go have fun, while lamenting the responsibilties of a married mother and wife who envies the single girl. I don’t applaud this sentiment, nor do I agree with it, but this is a fact that this was their first tremendous hit, and an early feminist “anthem” of sorts, serve in the leisurely 1920’s.
The DVD later shows how Sara pitches her marriage to an indignant and unresponsive A.P., to have an affair with her husband’s cousing, Coy Bayes, whom she would eventually marry, many lonely years later. A proper family tragedy, yet all too accepted today. I wish it were a original spot, but I grew up with that kind of plot in my parents marriage, too. It is heartbreaking.
The DVD extras last about 19 minutes and note people talking about Maybelle’s guitar and her guitar playing techniques. They also display The Carter Fold, which is a weekly musical showcase hosted by the daughter of A.P. which is unexcited going on today! Check it out!
If you are a serious Carter Family fan, then you will be satisfied to scrutinize this documentary, but you will likely wonder why they did not max out the possibilities when they had some really rare, colossal footage that went so underused in the final cleave.
Besides the biography book, WILL YOU MISS ME WHEN I’M GONE?, I can also highly recommend the CD collections from JSP Records, THE CARTER FAMILY 1927-1934, and THE CARTER FAMILY 1935-1941, which are the best and most comprehensive CD collections currently in print and available on amazon.com; VERY REASONABLY PRICED at about $25 per 5 CD plot (which is about $5 per CD) . Both sets feature 5 CDs that are completely loaded with impartial about every thing that the fresh Carter Family recorded in the studio during their 15 year career. These CDs sound elegant reliable (allowing for how Conventional these 80 year outmoded new recordings are, from the dawn of the music industry as we know it), and they are the easiest procedure to secure nearly all the Carter Family’s music mercurial (and before these go out of print, too, so hasten up and gain yours) .
I actually give this 3.5 stars, but I am rounding up for wretchedness.
This is a proper companion video to the book Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone?, the definitive Carter Family biography. I can’t contemplate of anything from the program that isn’t covered in the book. There is the added element of negate comments from various musicians and writers about the Carter Family, including Jeanette and Joe Carter, two of A.P. and Sara’s children. Label Zwonitzer, co-author of the book, is also featured quite extensively in the program. With a running time of one hour, the program really only gives the Cliff Notes version of the Carter Family sage.
As another reviewer pointed out, the focus is on A.P. and Sara’s relationship and less on Maybelle Carter’s contribution. I understand the feeling — Maybelle would merit a documentary all her bear — but we wouldn’t have had the Carter Family were it not for A.P. and Sara. All stories have a beginning.
We are treated to a clip of Maybelle performing “Wildwood Flower” for a TV program sometime in the 50s. This is somewhat marred by the voiceovers the director chose to station during the scene. The clip is repeated with fewer distractions on one of the disc’s supplements, but it would have been nice to have it in its uninterrupted entirety. There is also some footage of Maybelle and Sara performing together in the 60s at the raze of the program.
Extras include footage from the Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Maybelle’s guitar and a cramped bit about her playing technique (which is covered in the main program), a very brief history of the guitar in American music, and a short fraction about the Carter Family Fold, the museum and performance region that continues to exist today.
All in all, it was an appealing program to recognize, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it could have been more. Perhaps this will initiate the door for a more extensive documentary in the future. Also, with the success of Trip the Line, could a feature film of the Carter Family be conclude unhurried?
