From 1946 to 1965, Licking County’s Hillbilly Park hosted many of the greatest country western singers including Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter-Cash of the famous Carter Family. This program details the life and recording career of the famous Carter family, who were part of the “Big Bang” of country music including the formation of the trio, their audition at “The Bristol Sessions,” to the popularity that was seemingly snatched away at the zenith of their career. Listen and learn about the songs and the background of one of the most powerful additions to American music in the past one hundred years presented by Steve and Lisa Ball.
