Songs Of The Famous Carter Family

Songs of the Famous Carter Family is a studio album by bluegrass artists Flatt and Scruggs featuring Mother Maybelle Carter and the Foggy Mountain Boys. It was released in 1961 by Columbia Records, catalog numbers CL 1664 and CS 8464. The album was released before Billboard magazine began maintaining its Top Country Albums chart in 1964. It was part of Louise Scruggs' plan to give the group a facelift by adding older folk songs to their repertoire. AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars. Critic Jim Smith wrote that Flatt and Scruggs "cool[ed] their famous 'overdrive' to turn in a collection of relaxed, almost dreamy adaptations of Carter tunes."
