Anita Carter - ALL MY TRIALS

Anita Carter recorded this traditional folk song in 1962. Anita was known as "The Appalachian Angel" and this tribute to her is a reminder to all of us that she truly possessed the voice of an angel.

Here's a bit of info from Wikipedia about this song:

"All My Trials" was an important folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry./You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over." The message - that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" - propelled the song to the status of an anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era.
The song is usually classified as a Spiritual because of its biblical and religious imagery.

Anita had a truly unique voice. Who do we have now who could match her? I honestly can't think of anyone who comes close.
