Music reviews of Wildwood Pickin

Music Review: Pure Gold
Rating: 5 Stars

Maybelle plays both the guitar and autoharp on this CD and does mostly Original Carter Family songs. She demonstrates her unique "Carter Scratch" guitar playing technique and other examples of her unique playing on both instruments. I suppose that's of interest to people who play those instruments; I frankly don't care how she did it. I'm just so happy she played and sang over a long and apparently very happy life.

There isn't a mediocre cut on this CD. Many of the Carter gems are here: "Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow," "The Storms Are On the Ocean," "Gold Watch and Chain" and certainly "Wildwood Flower." On this live recording, Maybelle discusses the songs she sings and thanks the folks for having her in such a sincere way that only the truly great artists can pull off, in my opinion. The liner notes are well written. There is a diagram of how to do the "Carter Scratch."

This is a great, great CD that will bring you much joy. Maybelle Carter was one of our best, an American Institution.
