Carlene is one of the underrated singers who no one really gave a chance to shine. She definitely has her family’s talents and the sound oh so pure!!!!!

Thank God we still have a Carter Girl playing and singing sweet music. Carlene you are such a sweetheart...Bless you.

If she went on X Factor she wouldn’t win. She’s too bloody talented !!

another talented Carter along with Maybelle , Helen , June and Anita .

Nice to hear a genuine, unaffected voice for a change. New fan here

Grandma Maybelle has got to be proud.

She's a Carter, all right! This is a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. I still enjoy listening to those old Carter Sisters performances. Good music remains good, no matter what time it originated.

I was fortunate enough to see Carlene in an outdoor concert here in Upstate NY in the late 1980's. My friend and I took a big bouquet of flowers to her bus, and asked the person who answered our knock, if they would give them to her. He shocked us both when he said, "Come on in and meet her!" You could have knocked us over with a feather! She was so kind and gracious to us, and one of the great joys in my life was to meet her. Those Carter genes run straight and true then and still today....love, love, love this lady...

I have liked Carlene for many years ( every little thing ) and is very underrated, Most artists strum most of the song I love the cross picking when she made a mistake she doesnt try to cover it as she has nothing to prove

The Carter women have such a passion for their music. I believe its ingrained in their blood. She sounds like June

God bless the Carter family forever. I loved the ones that are gone and the ones still here.

Carlene sounds more like June as she gets older , of course no one can compare to Anita Carter , she had the voice of an Angel 😇❤️ imho

She’s got such an amazing voice like her grandma and mom! God bless the Carter/Cash family!

One of my favorite voices in the world, for a very long time. Still sounding fantastic, with even more soul. She's also a first-rate songwriter who never got her due. But she did in our house--our girls can sing every one of her songs by heart.

Wildwood Flower is the first song that you think of when you think of the Carter Family. No other song defines so well. Thank you for keeping it real.

Her voice is like fine wine, better as the years go by

You can sure hear the Carter in her voice, great old song!...

Absolutely beautiful. Always loved Carlene's voice. One of my favorite tunes, and one of the first songs I remember my Dad playing on the guitar. Thank you Carlene for keeping your Grandma Maybelle's legacy alive.

Beautiful voice that has come down through the generations - wonderful

Definitely has the Carter talent in spades’ beautifully sung and played. Had the great pleasure of meeting Carlene’s mother June and stepfather John in the eighties, wonderful people, highlight of my life!

She sounds like her grandmother. Mother Mabelle would be proud. Great job. That is real country.

Absolutely outstanding! Why is this underrated performer not on every venue?

How can one family have been so touched by god with incredible talent.

After watching the Ken Burns Country Music documentary, I can’t get enough of the Carter family. This was perfection.

A song,a lady with guitar,nothing more needed.Nice to hear,than all the studio mixing garbage.Many thanks Carlene,we require other artists also to preserve these lovely songs and culture.Your "musical family" reveal what "TRUE" Americans are like.June will be so proud.Love,JOHN. LIVERPOOL, UK. 75yrs young.

As a child I listened to the Carter family on the radio in the 1950's and they were fantastic 💓

Lord what a beautiful song this lady sings. Unlike most performers she actually acknowledged when she missed a little bit on the guitar. It was a pleasure listening to this song and I will have to hear it performed by Lady Carlene Carter again soon. Thank you for posting this

Carlene, you were and always will be "one class act" and one alive, beautiful and classy lady! Thank you for YOUR music!

She's still got it in spades. Anything and everything by Carlene I automatically click onto my favourites and gives a thumbs up! She is fabulous and always will be!

Reminds me so much of her grandmother. Miss Carlene got the Kilgore alto, beyond any doubt.

Great to see Carlene back again so recently and singing and playing as good as ever.

I just love Carlene Carter from my heart. Her song & her voice goes deep into your heart n soul. She is a beautiful emotional Singer & performer.

A dignified and worthy holder of the Carter torch...

Beautiful! A true descendant of royalty! I see Mother Maybelle in her! Great job!

What talent! Enjoyed seeing her sing and dance when she was younger.

To those of you too young to remember or not born yet, Carlene had a couple big hit songs in the 90’s. Her Father was Country Legend and Grand Ole Opry member, Carl Smith.

Woooow, she's good. I've never heard her sing. She favors her famous Mama June Carter Cash.

The best version of this song I have ever heard, Carlene Carter Cash is way under rated.

A beautiful sung and played by a beautiful member of the Carter family,

Big applause! I am going on 73. Mother Maybelle was my greatest influence for picking a guitar. Like Carlene I learned to pick the Wildwood flower in famous Carter Scratch style. There weren't many female pickers as i was growing up....just me and Mother Mabelle, I suppose. I prayed i would meet her and when she passed away i prayed I'd meet her daughters and now they are gone to heaven. I am running out of time.......Carlene, it's up to you, kid! Lol. You make them all proud and me too. Thank you and God bless....

You’re momma and dad and Johnny would be so proud! Great job Carlene.

Oh my goodness. I love this. Lovely song. And Carlene still as lovely as she ever was.

Grandma mother Maybelle and mom June hearing this all the way from heaven

I find it mindblowing how much she looks like Maybelle! And what great vocal tone

Those Carter ladies were so talented and the daughter of a legendary Carter cash family love this because there's no other musicians like them anymore.

What a great moment of deja vu. Had not seen Carlene in quite a few years and didn't immediately recognize her. The voice is unmistakable........and Carlene, you still look AMAZING.

Haven’t heard her for years. She’s matured nicely. :)

This is one of my favourite versions of the song, I love Carlene's voice

That was Fantastic !......Love !

It's wonderful to learn to play this wonderful song like the Carter family plays. And even from Italy. Thanks Carlene and thanks KZfaq.

That pickin' is golden👍👍

She looks more like her mother June as she ages!

Hello and thank you Paste Magazine for this post! Stumbled across all things Carlene Carter while watching her sing with what was left, at the time, of The Carter Family and Johnny Cash today. Really great to catch up! Excellent singer and songwriter. I wish her and the Carter-Cash Families well. --David R. Davidson Paducah, KY. 🇺🇸

Just amazing, her voice has only gotten better w age...what a truly beautiful voice

Awesome Family and Talent Thanks Carlene Carter for sharing and keeping it going Amen

She has had a lot of great music throughout the years, hope she is around and sounding as good for many more.

le temps passe, mais on vous aime toujours autant !! merci Carlene ! bisou de France !!!

Magnifique! Je vous repasse en boucle :) Merci !

That is just beautiful!!! she's a great guitar player and top singer! Love that version!!! Thank you for posting it!

I was big admirer of her in the 90s but I'm even more so now. This is now my absolute favorite version of this song, I can't stop watching this video.

Carlene, I always enjoy your posts!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I miss Mother Maybell. That woman was part of my life from my first recollected thought, just like this song. So sad to think this music and this family is almost gone; faded from our memories....but not for me.

Fantastic Carline i love your voice and your music.

I`ve search a long time for a version of "Wildwood flower" preformed by Carlene Carter. The song that in many ways was the older Carter family "signature song," Great... :)

Looking and sounding great, Carlene!

Absolutely lovely, absolutely in the grand tradition of the Carter Family. Thank you!

I just love this woman and happy i got to hang out with her a few years back XOXO Carlene

Very lovely voice... brought me tears... an memories... i love the song.

Love ❤️ this picking tune. Always have.

Carlene really favors her grandmother, Maybelle and the same playing style. Fantastic!

Wonderful! Still a great singer.

Beautiful! ty for sharing!

Very nice, I'd lost track of Carlene over the years -she's better than ever

totally agree Jacob, so many never get their due.

Loved it. What a talent ❤️

She's still a great artist , what a beautiful voice . I love you Carlene Carter

It is hard to find good versions of this song but this is getting very close to the holy grail version I am looking for. Oh that voice.

That was AMAZING! She sounds like her momma

Singing an old family heirloom ... in a room full of two-inch audio tapes. Can't even guess the number of times I played this song as an instrumental at parties, to get the crowd up on their feet and flying around, over a 35-year career... WORKED EVERY TIME!

Love this and her song called Me & The Wildwood Rose from her 1995 album...I Fell In Love...which is obviously a nod to her Grandmother and her heritage....plus it has James Burton on Guitar...Pure Class...xxx

I was so lucky to get to meet her at fanfair back in the 90's. She was so down to earth and she invited my 2 sisters and i backstage! We had so much fun. Ill always remember that

Wonderful !

Beautiful! Love it.

Ms. Maybelle Carter created the fingerpicking guitar style. This is so beautiful!

Healthy 2018, Carlene still has that twinkle like “Starlight” in her eyes!

probably the best version ever love it

Sara Carter is the only one who has the pure raw somber voice that goes so well with these old songs

Hello from Kelowna British Columbia Canada - love that song - and the Carter Dynasty shall live on an on - absolutely was captivated by the history of that family and their contribution to Country Music. No - they were Country Music - as raw and as beautiful as it can get - Carlene is just another example of an extremely talented and proud musical family. Thank you for playing that - I'm bookmarking it, and will be accompanying you on my banjo.

Saw the Carter's in a venue of a couple hundred people I( about) 1964 . They let Johny sing a couple 🙂 Love them all and it's not a competition. June had the gift of being entertainer Anita and Carlene the gift of melodious voice, Roseanne the Gift of moxey with strong voice ! Mother Maybelle created the strumming/and picking sound we use today as demonstrated in this song . Just my take ✌️❤️

What an excellent guitarist and singer! Thanks for posting this!

A BEAUTIFULL voice and a beautiful version

She looks so much like her mother June Carter 😊

You have charmed me with you deep contralto voice and your impassioned rendition of this old favourite..... Best wishes from a fan in India.

What a great entertainer this lady is

That is awesome guitar playing and picking done at the same time....

I smashed the like so Fast.....love Carlene’s voice...

Great, powerful voice and guitar picking.

Love this!!!!

That family is a gift.

Wonderful , keep them coming , please !!!
