Carter Family - Waitin' on the Far Side Banks of Jordan - a Terry Smith song

[Jeneverput]

The music is wrong with the movie

[abbysmom68]

still love to hear this song next month will make one year since my daddy passed we played this at his funeral and it was a comfort then and still is today

[mchllombard]

Wonderful song by wonderful people.

[mrjonsyn]

beautiful song dee carlson and ron carlson from batavia, illinois

[DannyShaw3388]

The lead singer is obviously Anita Carter. Her voice is remarkably distinctive! I can't tell the others'.

[onita92]

This is a great song, but well the Carter Family is singing Wildwood Flower in the video lol

[cdubnwv88]

Actually I think the ladies singing are Anita, June, Helen, and Anita's daughter Lorrie Bennett Carter, not Carlene.

[36lb22]

I don't see carlene on this video.

[DannyShaw3388]

This is a beautiful song but in the video they were singing Wildwood flower.

Beautiful rendition. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is better than John and June's version!

[62bossman]

Doesn't seem like the the video of the instruments and singing are together

[ADACaseyNovak876]

@62bossman This video isn't part of the actual song. It's just a random video they placed with the music. Maybelle isn't in this song and Carlene is and Maybelle is in the video and Carlene isn't. Plus Anita sounds too old for the video to match.

@ADACaseyNovak876 you are absolutely right - the "video" is from about 1957 from grand ole opry of mother maybelle & the carter sisters singing "Wildwood Flower" (also here on youtube) - the recording must be from the sessions of the carter sisters & carlene carter ca. 1969

[ADACaseyNovak876]

@54SV The recording isn't from '69. Carlene would have only been 14 in '69. The song is from the mid-80s (I want to say '84) when they were recording the "Wildwood Flower" cassette. This was an outtake.

I have been watching for this version of the song for a long time. This is by far the best version. Thank you for posting!!!

[philksfa]

Anita at her best. Great song, great singer.

[abbysmom68]

This without a doubt my all time favorite song! I always think of my brother when I hear this song. Hope someday I will get to see him again!Thanks for posting!

[TheMorewood]

yes Carlene is included here, the song is an outtake from the Wildwood session

[lowemk]

@TheMorewood No doubt you are correct. How old is Carlene on this song? Est is ok. Thanks.

[TheMorewood]

great song of the Carter sisters.... Anita Carter sings the leading vocals here, and June, Helen and Carlene Carter sings backing vocals

[TakenAlsoAlso]

@TheMorewood Hi Thanks for info. . . are you sure about Carlene. . . thought she was from next generation?. . . glad you liked it. . . Ally

[MrRecordbuyer]

@TheMorewood Mother Maybelle is singing lead with Helen and Anita filling in the beautiful 3 pt. harmony. June has been relegated to strumming away on the Autoharp. Great vintage footage!

[TheMorewood]

@MrRecordbuyer on the video yes but not in The song , Thats Anita With Carlene.June and Helen

[MrRecordbuyer]

@TheMorewood Thanks, Buddy. You are exactly right!

[SuperMarvinjames]

@MrRecordbuyer Thanks for clearing that up. You are correct. No one has the eyes like Mother Maybelle.
