Maybelle Carter – The Soul of Country Music
Netflix has just put this on streaming and whatever gripes I have with Netflix vanish when they ‘come through’ with something so ‘tasty’. This is the story of birth of country music as PERFORMED music on radio, records, shows etc. It began thus in 1927 in a makeshift recording studio on the second floor of a hat factory in Bristol Virginia.

We can see the strength and dignity of Mother Maybelle Carter again and again throughout this documentary. She was a seasoned road performer and no naive country ‘stereotype’. Like one musician said, some of those Nashville stars sunk into drink, ruin and despair would call her in the middle of the night, “Mama, I need help”. And she was always there for them.

There is no understanding Johnny Cash apart from the Carter family and one seriously doubts if he would have lived long enough to be famous without their love.

Lots of great songs, a few too many renditions of Keep on the Sunny Side when there are SO many others but that is a minor quibble. This should send you all over the net looking up the many Carter family and related sessions and old film clips.

Almost impossible NOT to tap your toes and sway your head as you watch this film!
If you’d asked me before I saw this documentary about the Carter family if I liked country music, I would have given you an emphatic NO! However, again and again and again, I found myself tapping my feet and swinging my head and enjoying the music tremendously. Because of this, I urge country music haters to think twice about skipping this excellent and interesting documentary.

The film is about the famed Carter family, the first famous country musicians. It follows A.C. Carter, his wife Sara and her cousin Maybelle as they gained fame. And, following the divorce of A.C. and Sara, the film then switches to Maybelle who began touring with her daughters, June (later June Carter Cash), Helen and Anita. Their influence on various musicians (such as Johnny Cash) is explored. Then, late in the film, how the daughter of A.C. and her family then took up the musical life as they created the Carter Fold (a performance venue and museum in Southern Virginia).

So what did I like about this film? Well, some of this is personal, as my wife’s parents lived in Bristol, Tennessee and I didn’t realize that this was very close to where the Carters lived and is the city where they were first discovered. I noticed a LOT of Tennessee Ernie Ford plaques but somehow never noticed any sort of monuments or roads named after the Carters. It also works well as a documentary because it seems very complete…following the various branches of the extended family. The music is also great as are the interviews. Overall, I learned a lot and liked this film…what more can I say?
