Johnny Cash - Pick The Wildwood Flower

Johnny Cash & Maybelle Carter from Johnny Cash's Country Music 1973

[@estelleadamski308]

As great as Maybelle was she seemed very humble and shy, and such a incredible talent, but, never boastful! And she had God given talent and so beautiful in spirit! What a legacy to her family and the world!

[@edejan]

Who would think that little granny playing the guitar is one of the giants of 20th century country music?

[@derickfeigum1467]

Not only that but guitar players in any genre owe her alot

[@bellsca1917]

Mother Maybelle was so humble for being the best

[@BonnieStoner]

Mother Maybelle must have loved him! He was a simple boy with a tragic childhood driven too greatness.

[@Ridger1978]

Does anyone not realize that she was burdened with Arthritis. She suffered so that the music wouldn't. She was a national treasure. BAR NONE

[@darrylmull7530]

Maybelle brought the old Appalachian church lick into music greatness.

[@carolowens2126]

I great! I enjoy listening to this. It reminds me of my sister. She would go to sleep to it.

[@slicerprime]

I LOVE than Johnny takes the time to remind everyone that Mother Maybelle has a thing or two to teach all of us...including him!

[@stevenwatson7668]

it's the Carter's that changed Cashes life

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Bingo...gave him real love.

[@davidfoley3510]

Very true.

[@girlnotoftheworld2008]

Watch the documentary my father and the man in black. It was Christ who changed Johnny's life...

[@JustAThought155]

America’s Royalty: Mother Maybelle Carter! Like gold in the soil! Beautiful. Notice how she just stands behind Johnny and simply plays the very instrument she taught the WORLD to play. But remember this, she always told the world how she learned and learned it from another, “a colored man named Lesley Riddle.” That’s humility right there folks!!!

[@MomoBaileybutt]

💯 🙂

[@countrybible]

Mother Maybelle was a real lady, she was already 64 when this was recorded! Had she lived she would have been 100 years old on May 10th 2009. This is great lets have some more.

[@maryannewestvirginiagirl9015]

Ain't nobody can play the Wildwood Flower like Mother Maybelle...

[@pkranz937]

Helen did a great job, too.

[@obesetoussaint6283]

[@evanmorrow1234]

She was simply wonderful.

[@CashPresley32]

Mother Maybelle Carter is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I love the way she picks. Thanks for posting.

[@KayvonJavid]

She was pretty much the original guitar picker

[@debthill8285]

She picks a mean Carter Scratch

[@BigFloridaCowboy]

This performance is the best version of this son I have ever heard.

[@AusPole]

It saddens my heart knowing I'll never get to see these great people perform, or even just alive... Oh to be born so many generations late...

[@nicolebeck1023]

Quel beau duo.... Merveilles.. Maybelle Carter, Johnny Cash.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelgaley9532]

The Good Lord knows how much I miss the Carters, Mother Mabelle and Jonny & June. May the Lord bless them all.

[@Rabadamtimtimti]

Carter Family Picking! Gotta love it.

[@conniewheeler962]

I picked some cotton. I was proud to help! In an orange sack! I wasn't big enough to haul a cotton sack. About 6 years old.

[@Katcrazy7]

This is just so pure! Mother Maybelle was a fine picker! So simple yet so profound. Absolutely great music!

[@jeaniecollier3929]

love this, don't hear country, music, like, this anymore

[@RevrnDale]

AWESOME .. I was so blessed / fortunate to actually get to see the CASH Family several times ....

[@Fraskem]

Them Texas fields were hot And that tractor never was my kind of living And when I hit sixteen I had my size and I hit the road to freedom And I'm glad I wasn't there To see my momma cause she must've cried for hours I still hear her saying Gary Get your guitar and pick The Wildwood Flower Now Dallas it was big And hard to find a job and so I didn't It was easier to hitch a ride to Houston And it was more like living Now I've been down every road And I've stood on every porch where they were giving And if they had an hour or a dime I would pick The Wildwood Flower It's hard to turn around And look back down the roads that I have travelled Cause like a neverending ball of twine My dreams have come unravelled And now as…

[@TheCarta2012]

I enjoy ohhh so much watching Cash play everywhere up and down the neck lol, I miss these times....

[@jonathanstubbs8158]

KZbin and other video clip hosting sites will ensure that this version of country music lives forever. We must do our part to share and educate where possible, because their legacy demands it.

[@TheMissouripicker]

Awesome music. Thanks for the inspiration, Johnny. Without you and your music I might have never written any of my own folk songs about my family. God bless. RIP.

[@sharonbrown927]

My daddy used to play this song to me when I was a little girl! How I miss my daddy RIP daddy see you in heaven.

[@hakanaman2893]

[@allenstinnett8995]

Amen. This really is the root to Our (American) music. I love all kinds of tunes but I do believe it all arrived from a gentle soul telling a story.

[@eh0214827]

Now it's hard to turn a around and look back down that long road i've traveled...... i never foget watching this Man in Black...... God Bless them all for they are gone and the music is gone also...

[@tyronesinclair7160]

[@keithmuncy2165]

Tivoli Skye she was Johnny's mother in law mother Maybelle Carter. Lead guitarist and harmonist of the original Carter Family

[@crusherbmx]

It just looks SOOO awsome to see her looking like and old grey haired granny in an old fashioned dress rocking out with that giant Gibson.

[@promontorium]

Well the dress is old fashioned now, but that was a pretty modern dress in the 70s.

[@user-nu7kk4uw6k]

Gibson L-5, one of the first archtop guitars.

You know Mother Maybelle was good on the guitar if the great Earl Scruggs took lessons from her. Which is true. She was his neighbor and taught him how to play the guitar like her. You can watch him pick the Wildwood Flower right here on youtube.

[@johnsteelman1410]

Hello, I saw Johnny Cash in New York City a few years ago , i was in the Central Park . I had to use the Men's Room so I went into the Plaza Hotel Lobby, Johnny Cash walked out thru the doors as I was walking in....he was dressed in Black and had his little boy with him....I asked someone who was that ? They said that was Johnny Cash.....from John in North Carolina.

[@anilomd]

Yeah man!

[@bluefeatherlf7992]

Goose bumps

[@harrethwool]

hi brother yes cash is the fucking man. so much in fact im getting my awsome tattoo saturday morning. long live the legend of johnny cash.

[@moonmaid48]

Don't be sad... these people lived to entertain us. Yeah, it would be nice to see these folks in person, but the thing is, if you got to see them in person or not, they were there, and we get to enjoy (In-joy!) them here. They gave a lot to entertain us, even though they are dead to this world, they leave a legacy behind, and we get to enjoy it, live or otherwise...sure it would have been nice to see them live, but we get to see them, live or not, right here, right now..

[@bobsch3902]

Toll

[@thecarters28]

its funny because at first maybelle was capoed on the first fret, but then changed to the 3rd !

[@LyonsArcade]

Got that key change in the middle there to take care of...

[@utoobube]

Nice to know Im not the only one who thinks so! Lets make some noise, and see if we can get "hollywood" to agree and do it! I like your idea of the sequel title "Ring of Fire"

[@bobdant312]

Where I grew up in western Ky.,& you played guitar & couldn't pick the wildwood flower, you could be deported to Indiana-or worse, further north! Am not trying to start the civil war again, just making a bad joke. Maybe! I was lucky enough to know Johnny, & He'd get a chuckle, hope you will too!

[@globetrekkerboon]

@AusPole exactly!!!

[@riorocketxo]

@AusPole I know how you feel :( But at least their music is not completely gone, and we can at least still hear it! :)
