“There’s No Hiding Place Down Here…down here…” (The Carter Family, 1971)

A very good Monday morning to you! Here’s June Carter Cash and “Mother” Maybelle Carter taking us all the way back to the early 1930s via a 1971 appearance on The Johnny Cash Show.

This short and wonderful clip finds mother and daughter from The Carter Family singing “There’s No Hiding Place Down Here” from a March 17, 1971 performance. Gotta love “Mother” Maybelle’s guitar solo halfway through. It’s the icing on an old Americana cake. Enjoy.
