Liberty - featuring Mother Maybelle Carter
When Mark and I attended Mountain Laurel in 2011, the song "Liberty" hit my ears for the first time. It was a rip-roaring version with some great autoharp musicians, and Lucille Reilly playing hammered dulcimer like I had never seen nor heard before. Now today, this version of Liberty came to me today, with the Mother of autoharp, Maybelle Carter playing "The New Golden Autoharp". I can't really read the label, but as I also have "The New Golden Autoharp" (1952 version), I think that is what she is playing. Main point though, is how fun it is to see this video and hear her style, still mimicked by those who can.
