The Carter Family - I Walk The Line

I Walk The Line (written by Johnny Cash) by Mother Maybelle Carter and her daughters Anita , June and Helen.

[@grezjoseph6257]

A View from the UK. Wish girls were like this today. Wish we were all like this today. What have we lost.

[@lennybuttz2162]

My gosh Anita was beautiful.

[@landras5355]

And her voice was also excellent, better than June's, I would say....

[@lennybuttz2162]

@@landras5355 June often said she wasn't the best singer, that's why she relied on being more of a comic. There's a reason they called Anita the Appalachian Angel.

[@landras5355]

@@lennybuttz2162 She was really wonderful altogether! 😁

[@eddiekawhe480]

Do people know how hard that is to sing and play guitar , all the key changes, while still sing the associated harmonies , perfection bravo, and beautiful to boot ataahua we say in nz

[@impassable]

Helen could do it all

[@michaelrosendahl5770]

And the answer is: No... people have no idea how much talent it takes.

[@borisstone9732]

They were all wonderful and very talented. May their souls Rest In Peace.

[@brianneale2006]

I Agree

[@adrianfewster8391]

Helen the most.

[@HektorBandimar]

Unusual to see Maybelle without her guitar, but Helen certainly could play too.

[@williampalchak7574]

Real America. Real American pride.

[@robertdohar5248]

Practically perfect in every way!

[@vidyahsoogrim2181]

Anita is so gorgeous...and talented

[@jamesfair4315]

Anita was as beautiful as any Hollywood beauty.

[@diogenes9771]

Sometimes; and others, June was prettier.

[@myrel543]

Elvis liked her.

[@dufus2273]

Hard for me to believe they are all gone now. Makes me feel old. I am. Will always cherish their music.

[@timothyw815]

I love they way that when Anita starts singing Helen immediately has to hold back chuckling. Then June laughs just watching and listening to her sing. Find it hilarious that they both find it so funny that Anita is really that good, it’s like they can’t believe what they’re hearing lol

[@rebelbaron7003]

Yeah you're absolutely right because I just found that out on this song.

[@grekiely6245]

I shudder when I hear Miss Anita sing, she was that good. Helen was tops with instruments, June a second to Minnie Pearl. How great were they.

[@georgecherucheril9947]

I noticed that too and thought the same thing.

[@impassable]

Yep that's respect they show

[@JustAThought155]

WOW!!! That is vocal skills right there! Nothing like this is on the market these days, in my opinion. Wow!

[@georgecherucheril9947]

Eck Carter was a blessed man. He had a gorgeous wife and three gorgeous daughters!

[@samueldavidrucker7514]

It's rare when a song and it's rendition is so beautiful tears come to my eyes!

[@josephwahome4836]

I love their dresses and beauty

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

The dresses are cute! Both sexy and modest. I'm actually looking for dresses like to wear for summertime.

[@maryannewestvirginiagirl9015]

I'm 49, but I grew up with the Carter Family music, and especially The Wildwood Flower... Its my country heritage...

[@carmenhardy2629]

My brother took guitar lessons during high school and he would always play Wildwood Flower.. I can still see him sitting there practicing on his red Rickenbacher in the front parlor.

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

Johnny cash definitely saved this famous family

[@5roundsrapid263]

June and her family saved Johnny.

[@crazycatlady4551]

@@5roundsrapid263 I can't like your comment enough! Johnny would have succumbed to the vices that stardom makes easy if not for June and her family. He was well on his way to an early death. I wonder if after he started courting June, did Mother Maybelle have a 'Come to Jesus Meeting' with him?

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

Had I not been fir Johnny cash,this family would have faded into obscurity. It's an unfortunate truth

[@danallan1866]

[@markonline1662]

I truly like the way that they harmonized this song. I wonder if they came up with that on their own.

[@alansouzacruz970]

Anita was a knock out !

[@dufus2273]

indeed she was

[@dannyd1572]

I don't know...I'm a Maybelle kind of guy.

[@deborahfisher]

What a treasure to have a video of these four ladies harmonising together and to be able to access it here on this platform. Wow! Look at how young June Carter is here. Marvelous to see them together. Love that they are all dressed alike; not done today, is it? Definitely a throwback to different times. What these ladies have contributed to American music, especially Maybelle Carter, is priceless. She was, and still is, a national treasure.

[@janeoxley4829]

Wonderful, harmonious singing.

[@jmill3147]

I knew the names of Maybelle and June but this is just my third day of learning who Anita was - a pleasure to see, watch and hear! Of course they were all great...

[@carmenhardy2629]

I have just recently discovered both Helen and Anita as well. They were all so wonderful and everybody knows this song but a lot of their music is new to me and I watch and listen to them every day.

when America was great

[@janes.1559]

Really? When their people were still starving to death on Clinch Mountain and all the men died in the mine or from black lung by 30, or the kids not able to go to school, cause they had to work the tobacco fields? Times were hella hard, but faith and family kept you going, but things were no where near great.

[@marc108]

America is still great,..though certainly the faces have changed ...JC was blessed to get an angel in June

Why at 1:05 June and mother maybelle stop singing at that part ?

[@kadeberrier3799]

Taking turns

[@yllepluff]

This one I think is quite planned, but June would often just stop singing, when she didn't quite feel like it. The reasons they often put her to sing the lead was because firstly that way she had to sing, and secondly she wasn't as good at harmonising as her sisters.

[@carmenhardy2629]

@@yllepluff I've read that their daddy A. P. was that way too, where he would wander in and out of songs. Every family has their own quirks but the Carters' all translated into beautiful music that much of is nearing 100 years old and still as wonderful as then.

It's unusual for Helen to be playing the guitar and not Maybelle.

[@rockhard2654]

ordinarily yeah its a little odd but you gotta remember that helen did the arrangements and this sounds like they just whiped it up 5 minuts before they filmed it its not very evolved, so it was probably the quikest thing to let helen do it its clearly a speed job. you can actualy see june snickering when anita starts her solo bit when in doubt let anita sing a solo bit and that will carry anything

[@pxn748]

She also goes "whooo" at the end.

[@rockhard2654]

@@pxn748 yeah, its pretty clear this is one of those "we need to stretch three minutes get the carters out there" situations im guessing johnny passed out this is from the same show, you can see a marked difference in the standard of quality of the arrangement and that john aint lookin to good kzbin.info/www/bejne/rafQfmmwpLV6fas&ab_channel=seucrispa and again, when in doubt.......anita at bat
