Friday Three Names - June Carter Cash


This may well be the last, or one of the last in this series. Not because I've run out of material, more I have run out of steam. It may well be revisited at a later date.

Country royalty today in the form of June Carter Cash -daughter of Maybelle  and Ezra Carter of Carter Family fame, member of Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters , ex-wife of Carl Smith, wife of Johnny Cash, step-mother of Rosanne Cash and mother of Carlene Carter. Oh, and a distant cousin of President Jimmy Carter to boot.

Wildwood Flower was her last studio album released in September 2003 four months after her death and only a few days before the death of Johnny. Recorded when she was 72.
An excuse,  as f there  needed one, to feature the most moving musical video of all time

  2. It was with some trepidation that I opened the Wildflower track, but it turns to be quite a moving song, with that quavery vocal.

  5. Great stuff. The way Johnny caresses the closed piano at the end of the video is one of the most poignant things I've seen.
