gove scrivenor and Carter Family gals.. June... Helen and Anita

[@benwilkinson3149]

Without a doubt .The very best singing family of all tines

[@peggymarsheck4926]

I so wish my friend, Helen Carter could have read some of these comments. She was so proud of her sister Anita’s angelic voice; so proud of June’s ability to entertain; so proud of her mother’s place in American music. But she downplayed her own contributions and called herself “the other one.” Helen, you were the one who held it all together!

[@ddmr7902]

Maybelle and her daughters were each blessed with not only beauty and talent but a genuine humbleness, grace and good humor. They were the very definition of Class.

[@davidchapamusicofficial]

Fluke told me he thought that Helen was the only one who could read music, not just shape notes. Helen was an incredible songwriter, singer, and entertainer. And Anita - I still believe Anita has the best voice in country music today.

[@dmoor10]

@@davidchapamusicofficial There's an audio only interview on youtube where Helen actually said they don't read music, but maybe she learned to at some point.

[@bigzach1000]

She played guitar exactly like her mama. That is about the highest compliment I could give to a guitarist. Maybelle was amazing; Helen had the same bounce and sense of melody that was so special and unique. And she was a great singer, too. So much goodness on this video.

[@dmoor10]

@@peggymarsheck4926 ok, what's your point

[@HektorBandimar]

I really enjoyed this video, it's great to see the Carter ladies looking comfortable and relaxed, their voices were fabulous and the whole session was an absolute credit to their talent.

[@sarahrussell3219]

I could just watch them play even if I couldn’t hear it I think. I love those people. What a gift they were given.

[@emilytodd1999]

A daughter with the talent of mastering and playing multiple instruments (Helen). A daughter with the good sense of humor, and a great story teller (June). A daughter gifted with the voice of an angel, the Appalachian Angel (Anita Carter). Mother Maybelle Carter sure was blessed. I miss them all, I love how their sons/daughters are carrying on their family’s musical legacy! The Carter Family’s legacy and their songs will live on forever!!

[@georgeignatiusferreira6203]

Mother Maybell Carter - Daughters and Grand Children Music has been part of ZA Citizens since i was born 71 Years ago !!! it will never Die nor disappear !

[@patriciajones4744]

The younger girl, think she's wearing shorts and she's playing a guitar and she has light brown blondish hair she is very beautiful and has a great voice. How lucky. I just love John & June. 💜💜💜💟🌹✝️Always

[@treasureschuman2506]

The girl you all are talking about I believe is Carlene Carter, June's daughter. Even when she was performing on her own, still is BTW, she quite often performed with her mom, step dad Johnny & her aunts. Carlene has always looked like her mom but now more than ever. She's definitely a Carter Girl, which I think is the name of her latest album. (ck Amazon)

[@bazthehandyman]

The Fabulous Carters...Anita's voice is pure gold.

[@haroldteague6575]

I started playing the guitar at 15 years old. I learned the wild wood flower finally. ever time I picked up my guitar, it was wild wood flower every body wanted to hear. I was blessed to hear this family play their music. now I am 78 years old.

[@55Cibby]

I just found this video. Im 65 started playing guitar in 1965 I was influenced by Mother Maybelle Carter. While other kids were listening to the Beatles and Stones I was listening to anything I could by Mother Maybelle her girls and the Carter family. I learned how Maybelle played and how songs were arranged for the Carter scratch. Still today 80% of what I play is something by The Carter Family. Helen Carter was a guitar player much like her mom...Love watching this footage. Thanks

[@roybodden9243]

Anita's beautiful voice always stood out. She had Country music's most beautiful female voice. Oh, how I miss her! She will always be the best in my opinion. Oh, how I still love her voice!

[@jimmybusk]

Yep...Yep .. Yep!

[@steverussell3396]

Too bad we will never have music as good as this ever again. Boy can these gals pick a guitar

[@donstricker5116]

Helen plays that Carter scratch so dang good Mother taught her so well.

[@hazensweeney5633]

We all miss them and especially that angelic voice of Anita .

[@atheling1066]

I don't think they ever sounded better than this, Helen looking & sounding so good, Anita, that voice still out of this world, I love these 4 girls. Oh Mother Maybelle, you did good.

[@lindahadland5942]

So lovely to hear your beautiful singing, keeping to tradition 💯🌟👋👋👋

Only just discovered this recording. Many thanks for making this available. In the history of country music there was never such a story to equal the generations of this amazing family. They live forever now on KZbin

[@johncartermusic5777]

The Carter Family is the crown of country music royalty and Anita is the jewel in the crown.

[@impassable]

*Helen is the queen

[@flautalee3090]

These are amazing musicians! Glad that the ones who have passed on live on through these and other videos. Also I see several 3rd generation Carters in this videos. I’d love to know who shows up as the video plays along! John Carter Cash, whom may we thank for filming these sessions? Just curious. Thanks so much for this and other videos. Do you know what will be going on at the The Carter Fold Summer of 2021? I would sure love to see you, your wife, and Carlene Carter very much.

[@kathleensmith8554]

Just beautiful, It makes me almost cry, I miss them so BAD.

[@maryfizer9030]

I miss them badly too 😪 I LOVE Mother Maybelle 💖I just wished I could have met her&the other Carters.I Learned to play the autoharp years ago but didn't know about The Carter Family then.Oh how I wished I could have met them💓I love watching Mother Maybelle play that autoharp.It's like she's hugging&loving it!❤

[@bluefeatherlf7992]

[@trishpeterson9043]

I miss them And I never watched till they were all gone. And I lived in Tennessee in the 70's. Don't know where my head was.

Lindas canções...Escuto sempre que estou no campo ao lado de minha família.

[@edmondlull3108]

One of those songs you tap your toes to while you cry

[@carmenhardy2629]

Yes! There is a small handful of recording artists that can always make me cry, bc they were so great and I miss them so much, knowing what I missed and the whole Carter Family is included.

[@mikebrown4297]

They are all great but Anita is exceptional!

[@martienevers]

The whole Carter Family: they are the Royal Family of the American Folk- and Country Music….what would that music be without them…!?

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

HOLY-SMOKE, what a beautiful performance. ❤❤

[@michaelharris6971]

If Anita was alive today no female country singer could touch her

[@jeanninepowell5211]

They are all wonderful singers just incredible talent, God bless them all❤

[@shaungarratt9941]

I'm listening in Derbyshire, England and I'm truly ashamed to say that I've only heard of June. What a gifted family, Anita's voice is absolutely beautiful, God Bless them all.

[@flautalee3090]

Isn’t wonderful to learn about the Carters and their music through KZbin? It certainly has been wonderful for me. I almost feel as if I am am in the room in these and other videos.

In these times it ok to think of easy simpler times, from pei Canada

[@DeanMehrtens]

June is such a sweet person and even though she didn’t believe she was a very good singer I beg to differ!… and then there is the little good deed she did us all in saving the man in black from his own darkness. Carter family will live on in this music for all time.🤗

What great voices these ladies have, I was lucky to see them with Maybelle when they toured the UK in the early 70's, great to hear them again, thanks for posting this.

[@donhendershot9705]

This all takes me back to the 1950's. My grandad would get out his old Gibson guitar in the evening when all the farm chores were done. He, grandma and me would sit on the porch and sing these songs. He would play the Wildwood Flower and we would sing The Church in The Wildwood. Sometimes he would get out his fiddle and play a fiddle tune. He learned to play the Wildwood flower the way his dad played it before the Carters picked it up. That's how I play it now. Thanks for posting this!

[@WilFreeD68]

Love y''all Carter Family and friends ! I 'm aged 51ans and the first song I've ever played on guitare Was wilwood flower. Best regards from France

[@lancemcdaniel9516]

This is the Gove I remember most. As it was 1987-1990 that I knew Gove when he would come to Charleston SC and I would sit and talk and listen to him.play at the Back Market. And one day he played me Jesu a Joy Of Man's Desiring on his autoharp like I'd never heard that song and he became my hero. Around 92 -93 I ran into him.again playing in Asheville NC at a bar during the bike race weekend. I will always have a special.place in my heart for one of the finest musicians I've ever known.

[@govescrivenor2143]

Thanks for the kind words Lance! Remember Tripp Compton at Market?? 🙏👍

[@shannonburns6724]

The family is roalty. This is great stuff. Helen plays that Gibson like her mom. Better voice. My God they play, so effortless. Carlene has that growl Iike her mom. But none come within a light year of Anita's voice. You can hear the mountains calling to the world through her voice. God bless this family those who have gone on. Like my Shannon Marie Burns, whose notes I copy hereon for the world to read her thoughts. I love you Shannon for eternity, your Dennis.

[@marvindockery4202]

I have enjoyed these girls for over 70 years. use to listen to them on the "mid day merry go around " radio show at Knoxville, Tennessee in 1949. Today i listen from Leyte, Philippines..

And a celebration of American instrument design and building, which is evolving. This is the Golden Age of luthiery. There are no guarded ‘trade secrets’ anymore. The Carters realise the rich beauty in this tradition of artisanship, creating gorgeous, lasting instruments, improving with age. They always totally appreciated it.

[@flautalee3090]

I do love this performance. Might someone identify some of guys in this circle? I know the ladies of course: Clockwise: Helen, Anita, June, and Carlene. Continuing from Carlene, I see a fellow on mandolin, one on string bass, another on brushes in the last tune, another on guitar (Joe?), another on dijembe, one on autoharp, also another young man on guitar for the last tune. A whole lot of talent and love for certain! Someone’s filming; I also see two family or friends watching from beyond the circle. Great post, thank you for posting!
