In the late 1920s A.P. Carter became friends with Lesley "Esley" Riddle, a singer and guitar player, who introduced Carter to a wealth of spirituals and blues. Riddle, a black man with one leg, and A.P. Carter, a very tall man with a constant tremor, made quite a pair as they travelled together through the Jim Crow South knocking on doors asking for songs.
The Carter Family had tapped into another popular strain of music. Worried Man Blues was their biggest selling record of 1930.
From the Album, The Unbroken Circle: The Musical Heritage of the Carter Family , released August 24, 2004
