- The Chuck Wagon Gang were the best when it came to singing those old hymns. They were the other "Carter Family". Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, you see them here on this old video singing one of their most requested songs. Along with sisters Anna Gordon and Rose Karnes, is their brother Jim Carter singing bass. Also is Anna's husband Howard Gordon on guitar with that unmistakeable Chuck Wagon Gang Sound and tenor singer Pat McKeehan. BTW, the man asking the questions and requesting the song is Wally Fowler.
Amazing - no fireworks.. no huge band.. no angry or pained faces - Just a guitar and some of the best harmony to Every come out of gospel music.
True pioneers - love it!
Anna and Rose were so pretty and such fine voices!
I love Rose's distinctive sound and the smooth alto of Anna. Such wonderful memories!
This is almost 2024 , I remember listening to these great singers when I was 13 😊
Memories from my childhood…sweet music to my soul.
I got to see this group when I was a little boy....maybe 1966 or 67. My dad was holding me when he talked to the bass singer and Anna....I never will forget that.
My grandmother played this for me as a child. I would spend the night with her and we would listen to these beautiful songs . It will forever etched in my memory, so many wonderful songs, another favorite is I’ll fly Away. Thank you Grandma
I've heard and loved this song all my life. It's great to see them sing it! There's no one like the Chuck Wagon Gang!
echoes from the burning bush is a beautiful song
I love these old songs. I hardly recognize the music in church today. God Bless the heirs of these amazing singers. Thank you for sharing these songs. I have a stack of the old cassettes and cd's Love them still....
Pat McKeehan was my grandfather.. I remember the day he passed away and miss him dearly
Pat was the only one I got to meet.
Sounds like my sisters and brothers. Love those Chuck Wagon Gang. Love it.
Masters of harmony and counter melody. This is how gospel was meant to be delivered.
ljalexi my favorite group
Praise God for their ministry
I have always Loved hearing The Chuck Wagon Gang! Thanks!
I grew up on this great music! Just Love It..... Timeless....Precious....Memories ♥♪♥♪♥♪
Anna not only had a beautiful voice..... but she was obviously one good-looking woman.
❤️🌹❤️
God bless their memory, they've blessed me for many a decade.
There are a lot of good singing groups but in my opinion no one compares to the Chuck Wagon Gang. I listened to this group as far back as I can remember and I love their singing as much today as I did then...60 years or so ago. I LOVE that the only accompaniment they had was that one guitar and I loved the signature "strum" at the beginning of every song. What a great group they were!
Maryann Anderson Right Ms. Anderson, When you have Talent". You dont need a bunch Of drums & other instrument to Drown Out You Mistakes. Great Harmony, Will stand on Its own.
Maryann Anderson The Chuck Wagon Gang are still around today but a new generation of the family?
You go Chuck Wagon Gang.... Love y'all.
My Dad's favorite gospel group!
Late 50s we listened to Grand Ole Opry which always ended with gospel song by CWG. Still burning in my memory loud and clear. Beautiful singers.
This music has some wonderful memories for me and really connects with Jesus.
beautifully done, my favorite CWG. O how we need more of these today.
I have always enjoyed listening to this group. Like other people there is no better Gospel group out there, I said always and that goes back to mi'd 1950's
When I first got saved in 1974, I moved to a very little town in the country and every day they would play the cwg songs at lunch time on the local radio station. For that hour every day I was in heaven. I loved them so much and still love to hear them sing.
This is the best singing groups that there is love all there ,songs
I love that 4 part harmony.
Just an old geezer now, but I sure love these old time gospel songs God Bless the CWG for carrying on Dads mission
CWG was my mother's favorite. I still remember her collection of 78's and playing them on our battery-powered console. Such great memories!
I raised up listening to their songs my dad bought it and every Sunday morning my mom would play them that's beautiful singing thank you for sharing my mom still have the records
The original singers can never be replaced. Things has to change because they do pass away. Music has to change to. 😟
my mother got me listening to this group. my mom just passed away 7/27/2015. Her favorite song was "tattle wagon" haven't found that song
I agree with Maryann Anderson. Don't hear this great sound any more. I love it
I used to run in from playing outside with excitement moms are they on yet I would stand by the radio and listen until your program was over just want to tell you that such a tribute and blessing to a small child thank you influenced my life God bless
Gotta love Jim's voice
Ditto to all of the good comments already made. They were one of the first gospel groups I heard after I got saved and I have appriciated thier lack of change over the years. They sing so clearly not the seductive whispery voice that is so previlant today. God bless all of them for giving several generations good simple enjoyable christian music.
My family grew up with the chuckwagon gang very awesome
My dad has some of their 45s he bought in the 60s. I digitized and burned them onto a CD for him and put them on my iPod while I was at it. The harmony is amazing.
I listened to these beautiful people in the 60s on the radio because our family didn't have a tv,and what sweet memories I have now....2021.
Roy Carter was a dear friend. A school teacher in Fort Worth. Would tour with gang during the summer.
What a lovely song 😂
Music to my ears!! Reminds me of the Saturday Night Singings my parents took us to when we were kids!
saw cwg in concert here in mt joy pa a couple months back and they certainly honor that wonderful original sound! i love all types of Christian music[ well,im not much for rap], but if it honors God and the scriptures im ok with folks listening to it. anyway if you ever are able to hear these folks live,dont miss it!!! one of their newer songs that really touched my heart was 'someday', blessings to you all.
A few years ago I seen them when the group consisted of Stan (Tenor), Penny (Alto). Julie (Soprano) and Dave (Bass and guitar) and they were GREAT!!. Today I seen them and the group consisted of Stan (Tenor), Shaye (Alto), Melissa (Soprano) and Jeremy (Bass and guitar) and they STILL sounded GREAT!! To me it was amazing to see how much Shaye not only looked like, but sounded like her grandmother Anna, who was the ORIGINAL alto singer for the Chuck Wagon Gang. They are still singing it the way the original group sung it, and I think the original members would be proud that they are.
Hello Greg, I appreciate your comments about how great the Gang sounded. My sister is Shaye, my grandmother was Anna. I sang soprano for about 2 years back in 1999-2001 as well. My sister is the owner, and when Penny was singing, it was when Shaye was taking leave to have her third child. Penny was a great stand in, for sure! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for oyur kind words. God Bless
Love these folks REAL DEAL AMERICANS!.
Wonderful song, excellent harmony God Bless the CWG, each generation carries in Dads misson
back to the Dust Bowl and then some! wonderful stuff!
Yes, this is three of the original Gang and I love it for the rare glimpse of Jim after he retired in 1953. I also enjoyed his pre-1954 accoustic guitar over the electric of Anna's husband, Howard, (or any other electric since) but that is probably just nostalgia of the original sound. Wonderful video!
Priceless singings from the past. God Loves us all and wants us to sing like that in Heaven Please accept Him as your Savior and Jesus as your Lord.
What a treasure to actually see them singing live. I wonder if there are any available with Dad!. Such fine work.
My mom passed away Sunday July 11. Her voice was so much like Anna's. My mom, dad and uncle used to sing this song years ago.
Great to see them in action.
Nothing like this today sadly. Real 4 part harmony with minimal instruments.
(and the catchy lyrics are theologically on-target).
I'm hearing a song called "Set your house in order"on JOY FM, a regional "Southern Gospel" station, and some of the lyrics are so far off-base, that it's simply not to be believed! The song is done by Gordon More, with, of all people, the Oak Ridge Boys, doing the backing vocals. I haven't heard a song that far off-base in a long time, especially when the very first verse starts out with a lie! This is what it says:"King Hezekiah rested in the warm sunshine. He saw Isaiah coming with a burden on his mind. King Hezekiah trembled at the Prophet's words-"Set your house in order, for the coming of the LORD". Scripturally, that's not what happened! King Hezekiah was sick, and Isaiah told him to set his house in order, because he was going to die, and not live. King Hezekiah, upon hearing these words, turned his face to the wall, and cried out for mercy from God. God heard King Hezekiah's prayer, stopped Isaiah as he was walking away, right there in the King's court, and told Isaiah that he'd heard King Hezekiah's prayer, and that he'd give him 15 more years to live. Isaiah even told the King that God would give him a sign of this, through the Sundial of a certain King that had lived before King Hezekiah. He had a choice: Should the shadow of the Sundial go forward 10 degrees, or back 10 degrees? King Hezekiah said:"It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward 10 degrees. Let it go backwards 10 degrees, and God actually reversed time 10 degrees (40 minutes)! I wish that these songwriters would get the song lyrics, and their lives too, straight before God!!!!!
A blessing when people forget their and sang
I'm the same way, Angie. Our church, Calvary Fellowship Free Will Baptist (in Fenton, MO -- suburb of St. Louis), does quite a few praise and worship choruses on Sunday morning, although they tend to throw in more hymns on Sunday evenings.
this is spiritual music not the noise we hear nowadays....i mis those days
I't set my soul on fire.
I LOVE IT......
I love the chuck wagon gang I. Still order their music
It's my first time listening to this. Suddenly, I am tapping my foot on the ground. This is a really good song, especially when they are ministering about the Word of God (Exodus 3). ⛪
Thanks for the video. 👍🏽
A church member shared this with me. I dig it ✌️
I think I played a hole in this album when I was a kid.
Love me since Chuck wagon Gang
Just so you know I'm 68 now I was about 5 at the time
We saw the Chuck Wagon Gang many times
Back n tha day I was Pop Carter's newspaper (FtWorth Star Telegram) boy. Pop would go on tour and Pop
would have save the issues he'd missed. People confuse their names (carter) with the other Carters. Sarah
Maybelle and AP Carter. Pop lived on McKinley St and N E 28th Street.
That's an awesome story Arthur. Dad Carter was my great-grandfather (I'm Anna's grandson).
These earliest CWG recordings touch me with nostalgia for a time when the dominant American culture was Christian. We've sadly fallen far since the 40's. Today's tolerance for the disgusting and bizarre makes us old-timers sick at heart. Advances in technology and ease of life today cannot even begin to compensate for what has been lost.
+Brianchaninov It actually scares me a little knowing that our young ones are growing up in a nation that does not recognize God as their leader. Its not too late, we can fix it, but it will take decades to even make a dent now thanks to man turning his back on God !
Amen to that! We have degenerated and it affects us all and drags us down. Come lord Jesus!
+porkyfedwell AMEN !!! Even So, Come Lord Jesus !!! I may never meet you here, but we will have eternity to chat all we want to when we reach home Brother !
The 'good ole days' also meant so-called Christians going along with bigotry, racism, agreeing with and facilitating apartheid Jim Crow laws, wrongfully thinking Jesus turned water into grape juice, and assuming our Lord was a white guy even though he was a Middle Easterner of color. Still, I love the Chuck Wagon Gang and, in fact, just interviewed Wagon Gang lead singer Shaye Smith for an article to be out in a few days.
Derek, GOD brought you here just to understand him even more. Christians have helped many races when people just like you were hurting them. You know GOD is real or you wouldn't be here. I am sure you haven't been on any other faith telling them they were wrong. There is something in your heart dealing with you. You know GOD is real and Im glad your here.
I heard them long time ago the one I like rattlesnake song but I would made exit 2 if I see a snake around my neck love there songs God bless u “ family
👍🏻 ́-
I attended many gospel concerts when I was a kid seeing the Chuck Wagon Gang. Anna's son...Greg, and I did some concerts together in the late 60's early 70's. Hope all the CWG families are doing well. God bless !!

Johnny Whitfield ğ gosh ham
my dad is annas grandson and howards grandson they are know as the everetts now
I ordered a used songbook of theirs from way back and it had Howard's signature in it...how nice. I have their Bear Family remastered compilation and consider them all a real treasure.
Anna was my grandmother (her daughter Vicki is my mother). Which of Anna's grandsons is your father?
Justin Owens my father is Gerald (pacaw) grandson
@@indianajoe99 - How old are you? Anna only has one grandson with a name similar to "Gerald", and that's my younger brother Grant (first name "Jerrel" after my dad).
Sono ancora vivi questi cari fratelli?
Love it love it! But what did these old groups have against second verses?
Greetings! Wally Fowler recorded for CAPITOL label at one time...it's a treat to see footage of Jim with the group...is there any footage of all four originals together?
+Globe2219 Wally was the founder of "The Oak Ridge Quartette"...the original band that continues to this day as the Oak Ridge Boys! I believe he passed away only recently--I'm friends with his son in-law.
AMEN!...No Drums knocking you out of your seat (boxes falling down stairs:).
No Screaming with lyrics you can't understand. Dressed nice What else do you need need?
I HERE THSE SINGERS AT CASSVILLE GA IN THE EARLY SIXTIES, I BELIEVE THIS DARK HAIRED LADY ON THE LEFT WAS THERE, THE LADY ON RT WASNT THERE AND A YOUNG BOY (12ISH AND A YOUNG GIRL) WERE THERE,
Jim must have been a hug guy. Anyone know how size?
Is there a way to get sheet music for this song?
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
Psalm 119:7 KJV. God loves us all and Jesus died for us all to be forgiven. Please accept Jesus as your Savior if you have not already.
Does anyone know what year that video was done? That was really really good. Just too short. Oh, Jerry Vandiver, by the way, the Ernest Tubb Record Shop next to Opryland is no longer there, which is sad, but his tour bus is still inside the store that replaced it.
Early 60s for the Wally Fowler Show at WSB in Atlanta. It's the only known footage of Jim singing with CWG. Several songs and interviews were taped for the show...I'd like to see more...Howard, the guitarist passed soon after in 1967, Jim in 1971.
I bet they are singing in Heaven now.....
What year was this video done in ?
It would have been after 1955 (because Howard is playing his 1955 Gibson ES5 Switchmaster guitar) but well before Ernest ("Jim"s real name) died in 1971. Judging by the clothing they're wearing, I'm guessing the early 1960s
what year was this recorded please?

'61
What happened to Jim?
So which label are they on? 🤣
Just a guitar and 4 part harmony. Today's so called artist's need a CWG lesson on singing.
Skip to 1:22 to avoid all the blah blah blah.
So they've made a god out of a talking burning bush fire. How Apocalyptic.
Hebrews 12.29 "for our god is a consuming fire"
The guy with the really bad toupee' , just keeps talking and talking.. seems like he's trying to sell albums.. and The Gang is just trying to sing.
He's the host of the show bucko, he did his job, did it well and not in the vulgar way that's so common these days, then he skedaddled and they done got to it, back in those days I suppose slightly more than now they had to explain what's going on cause there sure ain't no other way you'd know.
There's a right kinda criticism and a wrong my friend and that's the wrong kind, God bless you now I hope you'll practice the right kind more often.
+Eli Jackson Well, thanks for setting us all straight on that (remember: Eli's opinion is the only one that matters, and only Eli knows how to express an opinion the right way on youtube. Every other opinion in an international open forum is not as valid as Eli's. And Lord help and bless anyone who happens to differ. Got it!)

Let's be straight bud, does it really matter?
This is hardly unusual, especially for presenters back then.
Now by your name I trust you are a christian, may our Lord bless you today and give you strength for tomorrow, you have a nice day.
No, they are not racists. Your avatar tells me that you are a very sad and defiled person. If you turn to Christ and confess your sins to him, he will forgive you. He will also send the Holy Spirit to help you get rid of the dark and dirty pictures you have in your mind. He will help you to sleep well at night, with peace in your heart. Otherwise you will only be left with the dead, rotten skull in your picture on the left. May the Lord have mercy upon you.
Never in all my years before knowing songs of us hit the bigtime 'cept for St. Louis. Tennessee AVE + Holly HIlls AVE, our prom-ise kept. Show-Up.
