I've never seen those photographs of Hank Williams and the Carter Family - and the live recordings of Hank are just great! Thanks so much for sharing. I just added the link to your site now.

I love them too more and more as the years go on. But I too grew up with those Camden albums that my grandpa had, so I know what you mean.<br /><br />The photos are probably close to the correct era, but not exactly. If I had to date them, I'd say the first one is probably a little earlier than the 1933 session, and the other is probably a little later than the 1937 session. It's probably from the era of their radio show which would have been a year or two later. But that later photo I hadn't seen as much, and there aren't too many pictures I'm familiar with that show them performing live.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comments...<br /><br />JLFJoaquin LeFleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477958020377914424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872550936435479791.post-80835583779070759472010-06-22T22:51:44.862-07:002010-06-22T22:51:44.862-07:00This is wonderful music.

(I recall finding The Carter Family being a bit hard to listen to back in the days of the Camden LP reissues.)<br /><br />I've come to appreciate The Carter Family more and more over the years. <br /><br />I will give another listen to these sessions with your comments in mind.<br /><br />By the way, are the photographs from those years too?
