As I’ve worked on The Winding Stream, I’ve been struck by the passion people have for the Carters specifically and for “old-timey music” in general.

One of the fun things we’ve been doing since we started interviewing musicians for The Winding Stream film project is to ask folks to sing a line or two from the Carter Family classic, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”.
