Howdy Friends!
Tis from the second Newport Festival Maybelle ever appeared at.
The Storms are on the ocean was first recorded by the Carter Family on August 2nd 1927. So Maybelle knew this song for at least 40 or more years. She's accompanied by the New Lost City Ramblers.
This photo is from this particular session!
Keep checkin' back, there'll be more songs soon!
thanks, Max

  • Is this available on CD?

  • @maruku86 Yes. It's called "Maybelle Carter - Wildwood Pickin'"

  • I was half asleep when I first listened to Maybelle speaking and just assumed it was June...But then I was like, "Oh my goodness that's Maybelle, isn't it!" Thanks for posting.

  • You're welcome :)

  • Thank you for this Max. Mother Maybelle's voice really goes straight to the heart. What a gift she had.

  • :) You're welcome. I also love her style.

  • Just to think this is where country music began. Modern country music is garbage when you hear beauty such as this.

  • Straight to the heart - it doesn't get any better. Commercial wizards, listen and learn.

  • What a voice .... beautiful

  • Was this an old folk song, or was it written by the Carters?

  • @cruztacean Sad what's happened to "country" music, isn't it?!

  • @yarnshala I agree!!!! 

  • Mother Maybelle was my favorite musician and singer from the time I was old enough to know what music is. I can remember being so excited when the Flatt and Scruggs show came on TV and Mother Maybelle was to be the special guest. Thanks for posting the wonderful video!!

  • Man, I did not know how much Maybelle and June sounded so much alike...even in their mannerisms. Maybelle is the mother of all female sung country music, I just wonder if the stars today know who she is?

  • Love ya MaMa

  • @danthebassman07 "that ever lived"????? ok she is great, but when will people stop saying nonsense like that??? have you listened to every single female musician or vocalist that walked the earth since music was first made by man? I respect your opinion, but you could have said "of the last hundred years", and actually SHOULD have said "that I've ever listened to", and even that, is only your personal taste
