One of the amazing Carter Family (which included Sara Carter and her husband A.P.), Maybelle helped put 'hillbilly' music onto the pop charts. She developed a new and unusual style of playing autoharp (you'll hear it, and the liner notes include a lesson with Maybelle teaching the 'Carter scratch'!) and picking the guitar, which influenced many many artists who came after her -- her fingerpicking style revolutionized acoustic guitar playing. Her singing has a raw sound that reflects her life experiences in songs of love, hard work, and daily pleasures. Many of these songs, written primarily by Maybelle, have become the standard by which others are compared; there's a reason she is known as 'Mother Maybelle!' Includes Wildwood Flower, Wabash Cannonball, Coal Miner's Blues, Tennessee Waltz, 22 in all.
