Рет қаралды 63,946
5 жыл бұрынA live performance of Sara and Maybelle Carter singing the “Cannonball Blues” at the Newport Folk Festival In 1967. This was originally posted on “The Carter Family” KZfaq channel but the channel now no longer exists, so I was lucky and saved the footage before the channel disappeared.

💭 Some ppl have super-soulful eyes that really communicate other realms; Mother Maybelle had these beautiful eyes. ( Oh, & then there was her amazing guitar playing 😉)

My father was a hard working farmer but he did not work on Sunday. He would lay on the couch and listen to this music. It was his form of Church.

Nobody's ever played guitar like Mother Maybelle...there've been plenty who've tried.

Artificial eyelashes were very fashionable at that time. Dolly Parton wrote a song about their necessity to a woman performing on stage. Look up "False Eyelashes"

Grand merci à vous d avoir partagé cette magnifique pépite. Je trouve ce petit film très émouvant : les 2 soeurs, plus toutes jeunes, mais dignes, qui ré interprètent leur chanson d une autre manière : tonalité différente, maturité, mais tjrs la même grande maîtrise de leurs instruments et le même plaisir à jouer et chanter. Je trouve Les chants de country toujours très touchants, car composés souvent par des gens simples, sur leur propre histoire, ou celle de leurs proches....😔❤️. Merci à vous.

Betty here....the harp is an Oscar Schmidt 'Guitaro' which was manufactured from mid 1960's through the early 1970's. It was introduced during the folk music revival and has 24 strings vs. 36 on the Autoharp. How do I know this???? I have both Guitaro and Autoharp!

Damn, thanks for saving and posting this! (Also, I suspect Woody Guthrie used this tune as the basis for his "All You Fascists Gonna Lose." It's not exactly the same tune, but similar.)
@colinhaines9369 4 жыл бұрын
You could very well be right on that! Woody was a huge fan of the Carters and so many times took their songs, added new words and wrote an entire new song. This Land is Your Land is the best example of that

@@colinhaines9369 Yeah, absolutely. We recently played a mashup of "I can't feel at home" (Carter Family) into "I ain't got no home" (Woody) that was a lot of fun, but I didn't catch onto this derivation 'til tonight.

Sara lived with Maybelle's family. Her mother died when she was 3.
@cross_fire935 3 жыл бұрын
Update to my comment. Sara wasn't raised by Maybelle's family. She and her older sister lived with her mother's sister Melinda Nickels and her husband Milburn. The story that A.P. heard her singing in her Aunts parlor led me to believe it was the Addingtons who were a very musical family. Some sites say she was an orphan. I don't think that's true far as I know her father was alive. She had 4 siblings. Sara was 11 years older than Maybelle. Although they were cousins I think their musical connection was Ezra Carter, A.P.'s brother. Sara & A.P. Sang as a duo for several years. Maybelle formally joined after she married Ezra.

Maybelle typically favored playing in C position and just capo'ing to whatever key she needed to be in.
