I grew up on a farm in Ky starting in 1933 and the Carters were everyones favorite singers. I miss them too this day. I can still hear their voices coming out of that big radio. No electric so our radio was battery powered and they were very expensive so dad only allowed it to be turned on for the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights. Well, he did listen some during the week to Lowell Thomas news because WW2 was raging at that time. Reading down the list of comments I see some go back ten years. Makes me wonder how many have passed on and left these memories behind for us to see. Now on to some great music by the Carter Family!
Hello, William. I'm not nearly from the same time as you, sir, but I'm a KY native myself. I grew up in Bath and Menifee counties. Whereabouts are you from?
Am I a soldier of the cross A follower of the Lamb And shall I fear to own His cause Or blush to speak His name [Chorus] On the sea (the sea, the sea) Of Galilee (of Galilee) My Jesus is walking on the sea On the sea (the sea, the sea) Of Galilee (of Galilee) My Jesus is walking on the sea Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease While others walk to win the prize And sail through bloody seas [Chorus] [Verse 3] There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast
Too bad we don't hear this type of music anymore! I grew up listening to The Carter family,Jimmie Rodgers & Hank Sr. Gospel music, I doubt if most people would even know what an autoharp is,if not for Mother Mabel & her daughters playing it! & I know there has got to be an autoharp in heaven being played by one of the Carter girls!
I'm not a fan of gospel music, especially today's version of gospel music. But I can listen to the original Carter Family singing gospel for hours and never tire of it.
Met Mother Mabelle at the Horseshoe Tavern but I didn't really know the things she had accomplished . She was accompanied by a slew of daughters and I fell in love with Anita as had many other guys . Mother Mabelle played the autoharp an instrument that did nothing for me but years later when I heard this song and her picking the guitar it blew me away to realize I was in such a presence without knowing who she was .
I just love Sarah Carter's beautiful voice! A.P. was entranced by it and by her at a young age and it led to the formation of this seminal groups whose simplicity and wonderful musicianship has never been surpassed.
Carter Family "simplicity and wonderful musicianship has never been surpassed". Amen to that. In the 80+ years since the Carter's first recorded I've yet to hear any other group that could provide such incredible instrmentals with only two instruments. I listen over and over to many Carter songs and remain awed by the instrumentals by Sarah & Maybelle on autoharp & guitar.
heyy ..i thinking ..old peoples was very happy. this energy was seem on the them songs.. listening ..Look at the happiness. İ am Turk ..İ very love all good people..
I just love these songs with Sarah singing. The original Carter family songs are by far my favorite. They're so honest and plain, nothing fancy but great musicianship.
Fantastic Harmony. Sara was one of a Kind..in more ways than one. Planning a visit to Mt Vernon Va to see her and A. P. graves soon. A.P. was one of my relatives but he didn't treat her right. Poor lady.
With tunes like this one from the Carter Family, It's easy for me to lose myself temporarily. To 'blank out' all the hustle & bustle of the day, for three or four minutes, enjoy a group that comes along once in a lifetime. Thanks for posting! I have most of the Carter Family on C D's, but while @ the PC, it makes it awful easy to click on You Tube & 'Reflect'. Life is short. Stop & enjoy the Gospel.

This is good picken. I would love to obviously reauest all do respect to woody gutherie he defanitely loved him some carter family .its in his piven and im wrapping up some master tracks and surfing youtube for something to incorporate into my picken i reallly love this. 4 songs into them and i am saying for once in my life wich i thought i would never say im proud to be american .
Oh my Gosh Ms. Rita....wow........this is awesome. How proud you must be. How fortunate you are and yet ...so many hearts are with you ....I can't tell you how much I love this.
I never tire of listening to the original Carter family or the later Mother Maybelle and daughters version. A treasure trove of folk and gospel music!!
For gospel to sound beautiful, it has to be done the Carter family. Many gospel singers today try to make it sound like rock music and it's just injustice to beautiful music. I'm not a religious person but love gospel music when it's done right.
I listened to every song today finally in the studio idc to much for the recording equipment they didnt have but ? Very good vocal harmonys june learned from the best also whoever was ion the 2 channel mono deck great work.
@waterhead001 Two years ago, I bought "The Primo Collection 2CD Set" - The Carter Family "Can the Circle be Unbroken". On the Sea of Galilee was among the songs that were on CD1!
The electronic world, in one sense, brings us all together. In another sense it confines us in our own little worlds. I talk and joke with strangers, in grocery store lines, burger joints, etc., to remedy this malady. When I see frowning people, I ask them to smile, so people won't think it's Monday. It seems to bring them out of it. Pass it on!
Does anyone have or know if there are films on their concerts they performed. That would be really great if there were any to download. Thanks to everyone who has contributed thier music to this site.
@waterhead001,My youngest son is a 'whiz' @ electronics. He will take my old vinyl, (78's & 33's), cassettes, & other CD's to make new CD's with songs in the order of my preference. I could contact him to see just which original he got this from. In the mean time, I bet baasting may be able to answer that one. ENJOY!
Another great song by the Carter Family.. Does anyone know which key this tune is in. Most of their songs are an the key of C but this one doesn't seem to fit

Am I a soldier of the cross
A follower of the Lamb
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name
[Chorus]
On the sea (the sea, the sea)
Of Galilee (of Galilee)
My Jesus is walking on the sea
On the sea (the sea, the sea)
Of Galilee (of Galilee)
My Jesus is walking on the sea
Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease
While others walk to win the prize
And sail through bloody seas
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast
its 5am and I've been listening to the Carter family in my bed for more than 7 hours now. I can't believe more people don't listen to this.
They do, and I am.
It's been 5hrs already and I'm captivated.
Great stuff
@@sarakambouris9668 Sara,Im in love with You.
Been listening to them since I was a kid. I will never stop.
So many songs by the Carters make me fight tears. Every time I hear them I feel some immeasurable loss to all of us.
Their not gone home yet as long as you need them for you three there

That's because good music is timeless and spans generations.
Oft times simpler is better. This is one of those times.
I agree So much. Rhyme, rhythm and melody. We have forgotten that.
I had lost all evil in my heart walking into a old school church singing so softly
Oh the memorys this song brings back, listening to the old records as a child
Love theCarters sing never tire of them

The Carter's were without a doubt one of the best gospel singing family ever

Why would someone dislike this classic beauty?. May you find some peace of mind
"on the sea (the sea, the sea) of Galilee (of galilee), my Jesus is walking on the sea"
I love this song, thanks "baasting" for this great song.
heyy ..i thinking ..old peoples was very happy.
this energy was seem on the them songs..
listening ..Look at the happiness.
İ am Turk ..İ very love all good people..
I just love these songs with Sarah singing. The original Carter family songs are by far my favorite. They're so honest and plain, nothing fancy but great musicianship.
I wish I had found this sooner. It's so beautiful. Listening to it is like going to church.
God bless you for posting.
Aleluia. Thank you Jesus, you are Amazing to me
It goes without saying that the song is great. But your photos are also exceptionally wonderful. Beautiful job!
Fantastic Harmony. Sara was one of a Kind..in more ways than one. Planning a visit to Mt Vernon Va to see her and A. P. graves soon. A.P. was one of my relatives but he didn't treat her right. Poor lady.
Their masterpiece.
As solemn as an Appalachian church on a cold Sunday morning.
So sparse, and so yet so grandiose at the same time.
Great song.
I love these songs. The voices blend beautifully. The guitar playing is clean. Sentiments are sincere.
The trouble is,I keep thinking I'll listen to one more....
Yes! I start out thinking I'll listen to just this one. Three hours later...
praise the Lord
Simply beautiful. I'm in awe (and wonder how I've missed their talent until tonight.)
In today's complex, crazy world which has degenerated into musical insanity like Rap, this music shines out purer than ever.
Open your mind

A classic country family with their Iconic sound!

Great songs of faith...thanks for upload ...wonderful pictures.

My friend and I are Atheist, but we absolutely adore this kind of music, way better than the "music" that they play today.
Dzięki za udostępnienie. Sława Twórcy tego Opracowania. Dobrze, że są jeszcze ludzie,którzy myślą o tym. Pozdrawiam z Kalisza n. Prosną.
i didn't know this was a carters song. beautiful. thank you.
Maybelle's Carter guitar lick with emotive harmonies, sincere and powerful and to the point.
music that is strait from the heart, never any like them, thanks
This is American folk music distilled to its essence. Richard Sleep
People nowadays do not know what they are missing beutfull music
Great song and awesome pictures! 5*****
I'm not into religion at all, but I love this song and I've just started getting into the Carter Family, I dig it very much.
RickGibbonsOfficial : that may be because it's not about religion, it's about absolute truth.
Don't be a twat. Not a good way to get people to listen to you.
Religion isn't real Jesus is
Love this song.
This music always calms me, I don't know why
Oh my Gosh Ms. Rita....wow........this is awesome. How proud you must be. How fortunate you are and yet ...so many hearts are with you ....I can't tell you how much I love this.
just wonderful, THIS is country music
People often called A.P. a "giant". He was a big man!
i love my LORD
I never tire of listening to the original Carter family or the later Mother Maybelle and daughters version. A treasure trove of folk and gospel music!!
Straight ! As Arrow. Aiming at you X!🌈
My favourite carter song - thanks for posting.
In the movie "Walk the Line," this is the song Johnny's mother is singing as they work the fields.
That’s exactly what brought me here.☺️I love Walk the Line.
Known to all, yet those seem to forget.
Group is wide .. one is narrow.....eternal...choice...
GLORY!!!!!!!
Am I a soldier of the cross A follower of the lamb or shall I fear to own His cause Will I blush to speak His name?

Thanks so much for posting this. I enjoyed it so much!
This is a very inspirational song! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting music from my childhood.
strange to me, yet I love it - thou unknown, I feel as I played it
I'm not even a believer but I love this song with all my heart.
You should believe . He is real and so beautiful
Some day you will believe and if you wait too long , it will be too late.
Thanks :) I', glad you enjoyed it too!
GRD.
@falloutguy14 believe me the carters live for now and ever in their songs
Dit is so so mooi, en die lieflike woorde, en ek sien daardie liggaam en gesig wat op die water loop !!
Trivia: Mother Maybelle's guitar cost $275 in 1928. A lot of money for poor people!
Today it would be PRICELESS. Just thinking of all the music that was played on it is staggering.

South African musicions learned a lot from Yankees
Who loves not the Carter Family?
Does anyone have or know if there are films on their concerts they performed. That would be really great if there were any to download. Thanks to everyone who has contributed thier music to this site.
I am walking in water. I’m not gonna die this time this time it’s my time
They just don't and sadly will never make it like this any more
3 hot dogs all the way , Pepsi-Cola.. onion rings...
Funny how I know Carter Family as kid ! My secret!
@trublucountry Better than going to church!

When was this beautiful song ?
1939 ?
***** Recorded June 7, 1933 at the RCA Victor studios in Camden, New Jersey.
@hammeron59 I agree! I love this music and the Carter family. What CD are these songs on?
Daniel Boone was the first white man in Kentucky😊
Jesus's people have returned to their home
why cant they still live :(
simon jackson they do!
Like this one, Sara, close to soprano. What year was this?
Another great song by the Carter Family..
Does anyone know which key this tune is in. Most of their songs are an the key of C but this one doesn't seem to fit
Thank you all for leaving a comment!
~Baasting
come with me
You
What record/CD is this from?
Either all those girls in the one picture were li'l tiny folk, or A.P was a giant.
But nothing by Xbox and Microsoft?🌎
