One of the very few Carter Family recordings featuring Mother Maybelle on the Dobro.

that's an interesting fact that i never knew, thank you for that

[dstrobel3]

I had heard that Maybelle played "slide" on some songs but could never get anyone to give me a title....thanx much....pax doug

@dtoddmiller good to know. Thanks!

@meplayin If you play the two tunes without the lyrics, I think you'll easily see that the two tunes are quite distinct and recognizable, even though the chord patterns are the same or similar (which happens with a lot of songs) and a couple of melodic phrases are shared between the two songs.

@sandyjo55 "This Land Is Your Land" also sound a lot like "You Are My Sunshine." But the only melodic lines in TLIYL that are very similar to Little Darlin' Pal Of Mine are the first two, and the first lines of the 2 songs are the same only on the first 6 notes.  There the melodies depart strikingly.

The wanabees of today will never sound like this.

@bigjaw1 Sounds LOUD enough to believe.

Another Carter Family song that sounds like "This Land is Your Land" is "When the World's on Fire". Just wanted to note the comparison in the music in all three of the songs ;)

Apparently the melody of "This Land Is Your Land" is based from this song.

"Take Me Back" by Frank Stokes sounds like this also.
