Johnny Cash hosts this delightful, down-home music special from Maces Spring, Virginia, birthplace of his wife June Carter Cash.
June takes us to her childhood home and offers a history of The Carter Family, then sings “My Clinch Mountain Home” and “I’ll Be All Smiles Tonight” with sisters Anita Carter and Helen Carter. Cousins Janette Carter and Joe Carter join in on “I Wonder How The Old Folks Are At Home” and “Foggy Mountain Top.” Next, Merle Haggard breaks out his fiddle for “This Morning, This Evening, So Soon” and “San Antonio Rose.” (This entire segment is staged on an old time radio set, like the studios the Carter Family performed in in the 1930s.)
