Features Disc of the day
June Carter Cash
Wildwood Flower
(Dualtone, 2003)
June's final recordings. A real family affair.
Recorded just two months before June died, some of this lovely, homespun album is rendered almost painfully poignant with hindsight. But that was the point of course. Recorded in the living room of the Carter Family home in Virginia, songs like AP Carter's Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? have the sort of admirably brave take on death that only the most devout can afford ("When death shall close these eyelids / And this heart shall cease to beat... / Will you miss me?"). With almost all The Carter Family gone, she admits to crying for them sometimes but more often mourning them in warm, acoustic songs and a voice left heartbreakingly frail by the end of her 64-year career. Produced by John Carter Cash, with guest spots by many of her extended family and on occasion by her suitably humble-sounding husband, Wildwood Flower made a lovely and most fitting farewell.
