A genius and a lovely, humble Southern lady. I adore her!
Randall Ivey me to
Me too
I've been hung up on Judith Durham, and the Seekers, for a while, and just come back to the Carter's. Maybelle is so like Judith in a way, both knew they had great talent, and were greatly loved by so many people. But I don't think they really believed it, and never, ever got their heads turned by it.
And both so fascinating to listen to in interviews.
Wonderful interview! My grandmother’s older family originally came from southwest Virginia and she was related to the Carters. Our family moved to Tennessee and Arkansas. She does sound humble and kind. I never met any of these folks but knew of our connection.
🌷🎶Mother Maybelle Carter is my most favorite&June.Mother holds that autoharp like loving and holding a baby&smiles a lot😇.She also looks at one of her daughters off&on while playing music.I think she is so lovely&I love to hear her sing.💖🎶🌷Mary
Beautiful lady

God Bless you
mrblindfreddy9999, You have put together a wonderful compilation of all the great music that Mother Maybelle, and all the Carter sisters sang...it doesn't get any better than this!
Great Interview!! But not sure on the date in the title. Probably not 1963. Maybelle mentioned the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recording, Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That was done in 1971. Very enjoyable none the less.
Thanks for posting this!
For those who are curious like me, when you hear her say "I'll try to do a little of his [Lesley Riddle] style" (around 2:50) you can hear the song she then played ("Sweet Allie Lee") on the 1973 "Mother Maybelle Carter" album. It's the last track on that album and available here on youtube, at least as of Dec 2018.
As a comment on that, to my mind her playing on "Sweet Allie Lee" is kinda atypical. She does a simplified Carter Scratch (boom-chick) and adds a melody on the treble strings, which is indeed similar to the way a lot of rural black guitarists played. A classic Mother Maybelle break though, I'd say, involves her playing the melody on the bass strings while chording on the high strings. So it sounds like Maybelle adapted the idea of simultaneous chords and melody from Riddle, but took the melody from the treble to the bass strings.
Anyways, they're both wonderful and inspiring ways of playing. And it's great to hear how they're inter-related. (Also it sure sounds like Lesley Riddle deserves more credit than he got - and it's pretty sweet Maybe is so quick and blunt to give him credit. I've also heard Lesley would also go on song-finding trips with A.P. Carter and while A.P. noted the words, Lesley would catch the music and play it back later for Maybelle.).
I also like how the session musicians are like "you must have had a guitar idol" and she basically politely says "nope."
Timothy, , yes, about "guitar idols". They were out there in the mountains, weren't they, and probably would hear a lot more music on porches etc, than they would on the radio or even concerts. I mean how many"legendary guitarists"were there anyway, at that time?
@@stewartfenton7660 Exactly! My understanding is that the Spanish guitar and its innovative steel-string descendant were also pretty new in American culture when Maybelle would have been learning to play. Banjo and fiddle were instruments with deeper roots, and she would have been more likely to meet those kind of players. Her playing with Carter Family did a lot to establish the guitar's place in folk and country music, they're weren't too many idols before then
Maybelle says in this interview that she learned from "a colored boy." She's so lovely, so humble, so wonderful as she says "thank you" to all the commenters.
yeah mama, lota ppl play autoharp.....but most ppl dont/cant.....and the ones that do, cant make that harp talk like you do.......thankkks, mama for the music and memories...
She's amazing. The tale that she pulled a shotgun on the dope dealer..... trying to keep Johnny Cash strung out.... an amazing human being I love her music
Sweet humble and Christian
What is this interview from?
It seems like she's really just sitting round with these musicians that admire her, and are about to make an LP with her.
