Moonshine
Kate (b. Rosa Lee Carson, Oct. 10, 1909 - d. 1992, Bainbridge, Georgia) was an
American country banjoist, guitarist and singer. She was one of the earliest
women to record country music, first appearing on record in the 1920s with her
father Fiddlin' John Carson.
Kate was the ninth and last child born to Jenny Nora Scroggins and John Carson.
She began appearing with her father at dances and political gatherings at the
age of five, and could play guitar and banjo by fourteen. She toured with her
father's band, the Virginia Reelers, in the Southeast United States, and
performed on Atlanta radio station WSB.
Her first record was cut in 1925 at age fifteen, accompanying her father on two
Okeh Records releases. She also recorded two solo songs, "The Lone Child" and "Little
Mary Phagan", the last written by her father about Leo Frank. She played and
recorded with the Virginia Reelers until 1934, adopting the stage name Moonshine
Kate in 1928 at the suggestion of Okeh Records man Polk Brockman. Many of Kate's
recordings for Okeh play up her name, consisting of short musical passages
interspersed with quick-witted dialogues revolving around the moonshine trade.
The Great Depression ended the Carsons' recording days, and she continued to
perform intermittently, also working with Eugene Talmadge on his 1932 bid for
Governor of Georgia and for the Atlanta Department of Recreation. She married in
1944 and retired in Georgia. In 1983, both she and her father were inducted into
the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame.
