Today we tell the story of Fiddlin’ John Carson, a man who was not only an early pioneer of country music but also a master storyteller with a controversial past.
Discover how Carson, born in the Appalachian foothills of Georgia, rose from humble beginnings to become one of the first national country music stars, a few years before the famous Bristol Sessions of 1927. With his fiddle in hand and a knack for spinning a yarn, Carson captivated audiences both on the radio and through his recordings.
