The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been recognized by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 500 greatest rock bands of all time. They've sold over 60 million albums and have won multiple platinum awards. A band that started in the early 1980's, millions of fans still eagerly await the next hit from this consistently productive but seemingly ever-changing quartet.
The country music scene has royalty in its midst as every musician owes a debt of gratitude to the Carter Family. Their recording and performing career still influences today. Raised in the bluegrass country of Virginia, the family grew up listening to the local gospel sounds from the mountains. Alvin Carter, his wife Sara and Maybelle Carter were a group from 1927-1943. Maybelle was married to Alvin's brother, Ezra Carter. They made a record in the heart of country music, Nashville with Jimmie Rogers, who was already a star. The family never looked back, with a string of popular songs and live shows on the radio and on stage.
