I actually posted the Carter Family's version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" on page 5 (also Wikipedia claims it's from 1936, not 1927)

There's a PBS American Masters documentary on the Carter Family you can read about here

This song would give a name to a musical movement more than 50 years after its release
