An hourlong country music special hosted by Kris Kristoffersen, held in memory of folk music legend Maybelle Carter, who sang with her sister-in-law Sara Carter and Sara's husband A.P. Carter as The Carter Family. All three were born and raised in southwest Virginia, and were the first vocal group to become country music stars. Maybelle Carter's distinctive method of playing guitar, known as the "Carter Scratch," became a hallmark of the group's style, and was widely copied in later roots, gospel, bluegrass, and country music.
