I love this Woman Her voice is simply stunning ..this is Country Music in its purest form..

Thank you, Martha for singing our song. Carl Jackson, Buddy Landon and I had a great time writing it back in '84. It's a joy hearing you sing and play it.

She's real, sings from the past, sings from the heart, love her spirit. Love the way she fingers the guitar.

True country shame they don't play this kind of music on radio.Martha Spencer is keeping the traditions of the mountains alive in this and other great videos.Thank god for youtube.

YOU ARE A FLOWER, WHERE EVER YOU ARE. Wayne Dean.

Damn that's a sad song. I owned a 58 Chevy. Wish I still had it. Martha gal you are just someth'en else.

magnificent it's the only word i can think of.

I often follow the White Top Mt, Band wherever they play, their my favorite. I really do love the way Martha sings this song,,so sweetly and just perfect,,, I listen to this song every day in the evening,thank you Martha,,,and may you have many blessings,,,,Thanks Charlotte Hill

Martha, you have the purest voice, I love your singing! Your father taught me my first fiddle tunes almost forty years ago. I started playing again recently, and still remember Thornton's Reel.

Beautiful song, beautiful scene

Martha! Your Beautiful Heart and Voice! Thank You!

You and all of the Whitetop Mountain Band are wonderful musicians. Please continue your work to keep this style of music out there.

I Love Her Voice - So Sweet !!!

Your voice is very beautiful. Have you thought about singing some of the old Scot and Irish ballads and songs. I bet you'd nail "Flower of Scotland" and "Henry Joy".

SWEEEEET 100--100

good job

Did you write this. Lovely song. God bless

I want to hear you with Gillian Welch and Emmy Lou on whatever "Oh Brother..." type movie they come up with next. Can't believe I hadn't heard of you, until looking for the lyrics of A Maiden's Prayer. Now to figure out where I can buy a CD, so I don't have to stay in front of the computer, listening to this over and over. Wish you "old time" musicians weren't so obscure. Promise you'll never do Hip-Hop, or whatever they call it now.

My god, it is so beautiful! This is America’s great heritage! Please bring back our great music instead of all this nonsense crap that tries to pass off as music.

Really wish you would record this in an acoustic friendly room. Love it, but t the wind messes up the sound

👍

I hit "Maiden's Prayer" in a side bar three days ago. I had never heard of Martha Spencer or her family before, and I was about to click off because, although the musicianship was excellent the sound quality wasn't all that good on the clip-- then this girl opened her mouth and her voice was so unique and captivating that I HAD to hear her out. I've since clicked on about a dozen or so KZfaq clips of The Whitetop Mountain Band, and they are one very talented family. My only gripe was that the instruments tended to make her words unintelligible, which I though may have been her fault--many singers in all genres (except opera) have sloppy diction, a great fault in a singer IMO, and I though " What a shame, it does not allow her to exploit that wonderful voice fully". Having heard this clip, with every word perfectly enunciated, I'm knocked out! She's a very talented member of a very talented family, long may she and her family keep entertaining people. Pretty too, and can really put on a performance -Mr. Cabbagehead was highly comedic! As an old Scottish guy who did Ballroom and Latin American dance for years, I LOVED watching she and her relatives Flatfooting. I see and hear elements off Scots/Irish and English styles of music and dance in Bluegrass which probably came over with the early settlers. Good luck and God Bless then, it's nice to see a whole family sharing music and dance.
