Mother Maybelle's Carter Scratch Documentary

Maybelle Carter had gorgeous eyes!

Folks this is the mother of country music RIP Mrs. Carter

I’m so glad to be living in an age when things like this can be preserved and shared, so we can learn and enjoy our musical heritage.

I love how they smile at each other when one sings, there so proud of the other instead of themselves.

Mother Maybelle gifted my mother a pair of her earrings back when my mother had a television show in Cincinnati. She said Mother Maybelle was the most genuinely sweet woman she'd ever met, and my mother was not afraid to criticize people, so Ms. Carter must have been a top-notch person.

I have always felt Mother Maybelle Carter was gorgeous. He eyes were absolutely striking!

This video is a national treasure. I hope that the future generations would be able to watch it. Its a part of the US musical history.

Mother Maybelle and June are my pilots! If you play guitar and have not learned to play "The Wildwood Flower", you have at least one more pleasurable task in life! It's not a difficult piece of picking. Alas, the lyrics always escape, but it is one song that MUST be sung by a woman. I tried to rewrite the lyric for a male but failed miserably. After many years, I found a woman who could and would sing it on stage, while I played the guitar. It was wonderful. I was smiling like a fool through the entire song. I always wanted to play The Wildwood Flower for a live audience. When I finally did this, I felt I could die happy. God Bless The Carter Family!

All these ladies are utterly fantastic singers!!

Maybelle Carter is such an inspiration for me as a guitarist, she was a great woman and artist

The part with Helen Carter and her son demonstrating the Carter Scratch was phenomenal

Maybelle's my third cousin, once removed, not that y'all care, but from someone who knew her, you did her justice. God bless.

Mother Maybelle’s “Carter scratch” Style of playing was such a major innovation. She changed everything. And what wonderful harmony the Carter family had.

Helen was the best musician in the family.. also loved her voice. ty for sharing

My dad was a musical producer at a couple of venues in Boston in the 1960's-70's. I seen a lot, I met many, but none as powerful as the presence when I met Mother Maybelle on the tour bus with Johnny and June

It is fitting that Johnny Cash did the vocal for this Cater family documentary. What an American treasure!

The entire family is incredibly talented!

Mother Maybelle had the most amazing eyes.

Anita has the sweetest voice if she wanted she could have become the top female artist in her time but she didn't want that fame she knew she would have had to give up her family group and go out on her own she didn't do that she stay with her mom and sister very humble lady and very pretty miss all of them

I've appreciated Johnny Cash's innovation for years but never knew much about the Carter family he married himself into. These ladies have good pipes. Cute too. Johnny knew what he was doing.
