@@maryringenberg1 . . and she learned to play the auto harp and sing at the same time. Yes quite amazing, the movie shows the results of her hard work. 😀
Reese was the perfect choice for June Carter. I can never get enough of her in the movie. Shes so sweet and caring. Beautiful and with the voice of an angel.
I remember seeing this 10 years ago and was blown away. I was never a fan of Reese until I saw this movie. With my roots in the mountains of Virginia and Tennessee, this song has always been in my 63 years of life. It was also the first song I learned to play on my guitar back in 1972 at 17.
I was at work when i heard the song , I was told to drive a car over to the shop and i listen to the song that was being played in the car c.d player and when i got out I had tears in my eye and the guys gave me shit for days over me tearing up over a song
Totally agree a really talented actress and singer, the girl next door you wish you had a chance to grow old with and you know when you took her home your mom would say "Don't you dare mess this up".
I’ve listened to every version I could find of June Carter doing this song, and in my opinion, Reese sings it MUCH better than June Carter ever did. I don’t see what they ever thought was so good about June Carters voice.
Nashville might owe its existence as a music city to the original Carter Family! The Grand Ole Opry started as a radio station broadcasting that Appalachian music to a multi state area! Good for Reese Witherspoon to honor that!
Props to Reese. She is as talented as she is beautiful. There is something about this song that really touches me. It is timeless and beautiful in it's simplicity. I really enjoy watching the carter family play. Something so down homey watching a family sing together, and what a truly talented family at that.
Absolutely beautiful song. I heard it first on the Walk the Line, but came here to listen the to the complete song. This is what I call music. Some people like rap or rock. This is what I like.
Ain’t no way y’all seriously believe this lmfao. Reese Witherspoon’s version is mediocre at best. It’s missing the soul and twang of true Folk that gives the carter family’s recording such timeless beauty.
The most beautiful country song ever sang.. Reese does the Carter Family justice... Mother Maybelle, June, Anita, and Helen would be proud... Along with Aunt Sarah and Uncle AP!
I Love the way Reese sang Wildwoodflower the way she could hit the hi note's was like bird's soaring in the sky.I just wish She would make a CD I would be the first one to Walmart to buy it..... She also has a Great Heart for People. And She Care's about Our Country and the Environment. That's Why Everyone Made Her Woman of the Year.... Love ya, Always The ConvictComedian...
Something about this song makes me want to cry. Like a Sirens mournful ballad. With its poignant words and low slung tune it has always stopped me mid-thought, like I’m trying to remember some forgotten heartache in a dream from long ago. But there’s also this strength in it too. Like a pansy weathering the frost she can endure the damage that life will inflict on all things. A sweetly beautiful & heartfelt song.
a beautiful song,by a beautiful woman,in a beautiful movie.you nailed this song perfectly.i remember the standing ovation after the movie was over,it was simply a magical night in philadelphia.
I count exactly two words different between this version and the Maybelle Carter version on Utube. Can we stop fussing about the lyrics? Clearly Reese patterned her delivery after Maybelle -- a slower pace but the same flat cadence and understated emotion. It is this that characterizes early country music and gives it its charm, and Reese is nothing here if not melt-your-heart charming.
How is it Possible that an actor sings this song better than the original singers?? Reese is amazing in this song! Pretty much every song in Walk the Line! Absolutely amazing
I'm 21 years old from North Carolina born and raised in the south my whole life proudly related to the Carter family the hilarious thing is I've been told I sound more like Johnny Cash the Carter family are cousins with my family
Reese doesn't seem to have the problems many other singers have with the higher notes in the line "myrtles so bright". In my view this is the best version of all of Wildwood Flower, taken much slower so we really get the lyrics clear.
Good point, i'm going to revisit that. Starts to make some sense out of it again. I really enjoy Reese' rendition of this wonderful song. Back to our Florida sunshine.
Wow, Mr. Barnill you sir must know something the rest of the world doesn't know. Because I personally feel she's doing the best she can do and I say she did a remarkable job with this old Country Standard. I'd like to see her with a band like Union Station behind her performing some well crafted Americana Grass.
To act is one thing, but to learn to sing is another. Witherspoon's performance in Walk the Line was simply fantastic.
Like Sissy Spacek in Coal Miners Daughter...Love that ol honky tonk movie.
I didn’t know she could sing, beautiful voice
Well said. She is absolutely amazing. I love this version of this song. Reese is legendary.
@@maryringenberg1 . . and she learned to play the auto harp and sing at the same time. Yes quite amazing, the movie shows the results of her hard work. 😀
@@percyroy-wt3vlexcellent comparison, sissy spacek was amazing in coal miner’s daughter, that movie made me a fan of Loretta lynn
Reese was the perfect choice for June Carter. I can never get enough of her in the movie. Shes so sweet and caring. Beautiful and with the voice of an angel.
Reese's voice is closer to Maybelle's - both at the lower end of the soprano range.
@J Oh Unfortunately, she can't sing. Have to use a double dummy.
Ben Brines
Bro chill.
Well said Ben.
Totally agree xx
Reese would make me so very happy if she'd do a full country album. She kicks ass over a lot of the big country stars.
Her voice is still like a lake
and so affable & attractive
for feeling natural emotion.
@@정환인-o4m - Nice!
Get the Walk The Line soundtrack!! I absolutely love it!
Edit: I didnt even realize this comment is 10 years old, lol 😂
@@sanniwartinen3595 Yes I have that soundtrack, it's really great.
Her country is on a professional level. She has a gorgeous voice
Reese Witherspoon is just so flipping beautiful!!
Her voice is just as beautiful as she is too!!

Tony you from NE TN?
her version of this just gets me I cant get enough of it every time I hear her version I'm suddenly relaxed and calm

I absolutely love Reese Witherspoon and her voice in this song is so pleasing and harmonic.
Yesss. I totally agree. She is so talented!

Carter family was incredible, but don’t forget my boy Jimmie Rodgers

I did *not* know Reese could sing like this. She does the Carter "sound" very well.
she's far superior
Way better then June ever was...
She sounds a lot better than June did. I'm sorry but June wasn't a good singer.

This song from where ever it came.is like the rarest gem.that will never be found.the Carter's just brought it forward.
This is the best version I've heard of this classic song. She did a great job.
I love Reese's version....beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
"And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew," Damn. She nailed that part so beautifully.
She sings beautifully. I love her rendition!

Most cute she is - indeed... :)

Reese Witherspoon did an amazing job. Great singing and guitar playing.
Beautiful lady and song. Everything she touches improves. Hottest actress/singer in Hollywood.
a beautiful song,by a beautiful woman,in a beautiful movie.you nailed this song perfectly.i remember the standing ovation after the movie was over,it was simply a magical night in philadelphia.
beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, takes my soul on a journey.
WOW I just love her voice in this song!!
Reese has a beautiful singing voice!
AWESOME! Dan from Nebraska 🇺🇸
She did excellent work in that movie
Beautifully written straight from the heart and miss Carter was an absolute song writer
Reese grew up near where I live in Nashville TN she could had been a country star.
reese you are brilliant well done a great show frome all stars in the film
I melt every time, what beauty.
Fantastic!! Listened to this 1000 times! I love Reese Witherspoon, both as an actor and a singer. If i get to met her my life would be complete🙂
The best version
I love the oldies and reese does an awesome job in this song hard song to sing.
God she sounds so good singing this song.
HEYitzED yes beautiful
I agree
She sounds like she looks. Good.
@@sarahburggraf861 yes
Love this version of wildflower by Reese. She's simple and pure.
A voice to match her beautiful soul. Greatest version of a classic piece.😊
OMG I'm in love with the Carter family all over again, great job Witherspoon That gets a big whistle from me

Robert Brault
Carter was only a one hit wonder singer period.
@@wellingtonalumninz157 What was the hit?
indeed its called artistic license, wonderful Reese,
I wouldn’t expect it to be identical. Carter herself probably never sang it the same way twice. Folk and pop just work that way.
Fantastic - county music's most beautiful song. Tugs at the soul.
This is a lovely song with a long lost vernacular.
How is it Possible that an actor sings this song better than the original singers?? Reese is amazing in this song! Pretty much every song in Walk the Line! Absolutely amazing
Can't get enough of her down home style!!!!!
This is the best version of this song ever done. Much more beautiful slowed down like this .Sure beats the Carter family version.
The sweetest gal HOLLYWOOD has to offer these days....
Reese Witherspoon sang so sweet...well done!
I think Reese has what it takes to be a sweetheart of country music. How is it she doesn't have a recording contract?
Ummm maybe because she's too busy as a box office attraction 😎👌
Love to hear this song My mommy loves it very much
My mother use to sing this song to me as a child... great memories. I love this song.
Maybelle, June and Now Reese. Wonderfull.
NB : I am French and I like very much Carter Family
You forgot about anita carter and helen carter and sara carter and carlene carter june carter cash's daughter and Roseanne cash
I'm 21 years old from North Carolina born and raised in the south my whole life proudly related to the Carter family the hilarious thing is I've been told I sound more like Johnny Cash the Carter family are cousins with my family
She did a terrific job with this song
People who slam June Carter can not understand or appreciate her unique style and voice. She was one of a kind and is greatly missed!
But this is Reese, not June
Anyone who slams any Carter is a fool. That family was legendary.
Very beautiful . Thank you for picking a song that is very special .
that's real country music right there
Weeeeellllll.....I got to admit, she sounds like a country singer.
She's from Tennessee
Jason Raczkowski
No. She is from Louisiana.
Born in Louisiana raised in Tennessee.
larry potter good voice
