I was on the train today, and the train came to the park st station. When the doors opened there was a small blue grass group at the station playing this song. It made my day soooo much better, love this song
@ptpike1 Maybe they don't like how A.P. was credited with writing every song he cared to cover. In the 1920's, he had Leslie Riddle, a black man, go around the south and find songs for him. All subsequent recordings were credited as written by A.P.. Research shows, despite his claims, he probably only had one song published which he wrote. If he pulled that now, he'd be in court. That being said, I love this old music. It takes me back.
Y'all need to chill out, all of you. Take this argument somewhere else. It doesn't belong here with this beautiful, harmonious music the Carter Family devoted their lives to. Just listen to the song once or twice. It'll make you forget that there's anything "offensive" in the world for a little while.
That Maybelle really attacked that guitar with gusto! These are real people, real lovers of song, singing with simplicity and honesty. More polished versions could never match this beautiful old counry song. Carters forever!
@MarthaH605 Time to do some research! Please check out where A.P. got all of his songs. To help you, add Leslie Riddle to your A.P. search. It will shed a light on your assumption. Bluegrass is kind of like rock and roll......it's all taken from black peoples music.
@freetickeys No, bluegrass as a genre was created by Bill Monroe and people of his era. The Carter Family's music is not bluegrass. Bluegrass is relatively young, having come late to the scene. The Carter Family's music is older and is among the roots of bluegrass, but is not bluegrass itself.
Bluegrass today and in Monroe's time pulls from many different influences, so it's not accurate to say, "it's all taken from black music." Some may be, but not all.
RIP denis, this was played at my bro nd mentor's funeral. I fucking love this song and love the fact it reminds me of deep belly laughs with my old boy. Bless ya bro, nevar forgotten xxxxx

Does anyone else notice that they consistantly drop one beat right before they start the refrain? This is an interesting musical device. You don't hear it used very often.
Somebody needs to start a good ole timey radio station somewhere on the AM band that I could listen to on my Philco or crystal set.
Comedy programs on saturday night sponsored by a tobacco company, live jazz/dance music for the teenagers on friday nights played by a band named and sponsored by a car company, sweet soothing country music every evening for mother and father to dance to,
@DeLorean4 radio dramas for the whole family, intelligent and captivating programming, "News bulletin" interruptions, real local news, real local music, a cowboy show on saturday mornings for the kids....
Oh, and I'd also need someone to start producing radio tubes again.
@DeLorean4 They HAVE an old timey radio program...Prairie Home Companion on NPR. Families gather, sing, laugh, dance, remember those good old days. Even if you haven't lived in the good old days, PHC is as close as it gets.
@iamda1949 And for some reason I can't stand that program. I guess I listened to it too often when I was a child and my preconcieved notions have stuck with me regardless of how much I adore the idea behind that radio show.
They don't put stuff like this on the radio anymore because of a thing called PROFIT.
Under laissez faire capitalism - the sort that makes bankers obscenely rich and arrogant - the only thing that matters is money. However there is a perception that the record/disc/music buying public - that is the sort who actually part with cash for music are teenagers and not older non-computer- literate consumers. the ostriches who run radio stations are unaware that younger people download it for free.
Saw the Carters on a old Wilburn show...They looked exhaused and needing of sleep.I bet Ol'A.P caught hell from the women,didn't look like a happy camper in pictures I seen of him.
@AlexDCl May of the folks who settled in the Southern Appalachians were of Scotch-Irish ancestry. The unique pattern of old-time mountaineer speech can be traced directly to ancient Scots dialect, crossed with a bit of Irish and Elizabethan English; the King James Bible was a powerful influence in those hills!
Sadly, those speech patterns were "educated" out of modern generations, and are a distant boyhood memory of old folks talking in long-gone country stores of the 50's & early 60's.
I love this old song. To listen to The Carter Family here is to listen to true, honest and down to earth music. Their harmony here is precious. Mother Maybelle's guitar playing is the best. My little grannie played the fiddle when I was a little girl and she sang like Mother Maybelle. She was born and reared in the hollers here in Kentucky and she and grandpa took care of a family of nine children. Her old wind up victrola was her pride and joy . Thanks for posting. - Paula
The reason we don't have such music nowadays is, because we love to listen to gangstaz who "sing" about their b*tches and guns and other things they don't have.
@d00dicus did i say i hate black people? i'm from europe so i don't know why this should be offending. as far as i know every black rapper uses this word right?
@b1e1r1t1ah It's a racial slur that calls upon hundreds of years of the oppression and killing of a race. A lot of rappers do use the word, and so do many others, but just because they use it a certain way doesn't mean that it stops meaning hateful things to me. If you want to use it though, that's up to you.
I'm a huge metal fan (Judas priest, Iron Maiden) but hearing stuff like this is truly incredible. Blazing the trail for modern western music of all types, I can only be grateful
My Saturdays when young were spent listening to Opry all day. In the afternoon, the Metropolitan Opera and later before bedtime, the Grand Ol Opry. Could not live with either.
nusdorfer, I'm with 'ya! Outstanding in every sense. Although I do like a small pct. of modern country, nothing equals the originals. Great sense of family and purpose. Something that is lost in most traditional music today.
@coldfusiongames Sorry for the confusion. The "she" I was reffering to was not the singer of this song. I was replying to a comment on this thread by puppwuv1 who said that TAYLOR SWIFT ruined country music. I think the Carter family is great! cheers! ;-)
No, it does not get any better.Now I am nearly 70 and have loved the Carter Family along with Hank Williams [There is only one Hank] Jimmy Rogers, Pete Pyle, Wilf Carter , since I heard them on my brothers wind up gramophone when I was about 7 years old.
Does it really get any better than this? I mean, really. My Grandmother is 98 years of age and still recalls these classics. I'm fortunate to have her and this fantastic post! Absolutely Perfect!!!!! Grandma is two years younger than Maybelle was and lived a hard, coarse, life. It was this music that kept her spirits up through what most of us alive today could not even comprehend.
we are singing this at my winter chorus concert. even though it has nothing to do with christmas (we have a new music teacher this year and she picks songs that don't even have to do with christmas) it is still a good song to sing to!
Consider yourself very fortunate Wizardly. I 've lived in the UK all my life and we never had anything as pleasurable as this to sing at Christmas .. apart from possibly Silent Night.
@dashriprock20001 Twangy pop describes it perfectly.... and I'm also under the impression that few songs go without mentionning some sort of pick up truck.
Those of you that would like to hear more of the original Carter Family, don't waste money on anything less than the JSP 10-record import set, available online.
Drive through Des Moines playing this from a loudspeaker from your car at the end of the world. ;)

@dashriprock20001 Twangy pop describes it perfectly.... and I'm also under the impression that few songs go without mentionning some sort of pick up truck.
