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!

So many songs by the Carters make me fight tears. Every time I hear them I feel some immeasurable loss to all of us.

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​.

Oh the memorys this song brings back, listening to the old records as a child

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.

I wish I had found this sooner. It's so beautiful. Listening to it is like going to church. God bless you for posting.

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 .

Love theCarters sing never tire of them

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

It goes without saying that the song is great. But your photos are also exceptionally wonderful. Beautiful job!

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.

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!

Aleluia. Thank you Jesus, you are Amazing to me

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..

"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.

So simple and clear. What a witness.

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.

I love these songs. The voices blend beautifully. The guitar playing is clean. Sentiments are sincere.

Why would someone dislike this classic beauty?. May you find some peace of mind

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.

praise the Lord

Simply beautiful. I'm in awe (and wonder how I've missed their talent until tonight.)

wonderful music by the cater family

God Bless

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

Beautiful !

beautiful

A classic country family with their Iconic sound!

so honest and pure

Beautiful , I never get tired of listening to them ...

The trouble is,I keep thinking I'll listen to one more....

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.

and now it is 2020 and they are shouting out my boxes here in northern Germany. What wonderful music !

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.

Great song and awesome pictures! 5*****

music that is strait from the heart, never any like them, thanks

Maybelle's Carter guitar lick with emotive harmonies, sincere and powerful and to the point.

In today's complex, crazy world which has degenerated into musical insanity like Rap, this music shines out purer than ever.

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.

Love this song.

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 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 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 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast 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

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.

My favourite carter song - thanks for posting.

When I se this I se myself 30 years ago. That's time for you.

This music always calms me, I don't know why

amen

My friend and I are Atheist, but we absolutely adore this kind of music, way better than the "music" that they play today.

This is American folk music distilled to its essence. Richard Sleep

i love my LORD

GLORY!!!!!!!

Straight ! As Arrow. Aiming at you X!🌈

In the movie "Walk the Line," this is the song Johnny's mother is singing as they work the fields.

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 to you I can play the original as well as EmmyLou's version. God bless and keep ya! Warchild!

Known to all, yet those seem to forget. Group is wide .. one is narrow.....eternal...choice...

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

People often called A.P. a "giant". He was a big man!

Thanks so much for posting this. I enjoyed it so much!

Got a shiver

@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!

Thank you for posting music from my childhood.

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'm not even a believer but I love this song with all my heart.

@falloutguy14 believe me the carters live for now and ever in their songs

strange to me, yet I love it - thou unknown, I feel as I played it

Dit is so so mooi, en die lieflike woorde, en ek sien daardie liggaam en gesig wat op die water loop !!

❤❤❤❤❤

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.

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!

Trivia: Mother Maybelle's guitar cost $275 in 1928. A lot of money for poor people!

Thanks :) I', glad you enjoyed it too!

GRD.

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

@hammeron59 I agree! I love this music and the Carter family. What CD are these songs on?

3 hot dogs all the way , Pepsi-Cola.. onion rings...

Funny how I know Carter Family as kid ! My secret!

South African musicions learned a lot from Yankees

Try this on guitar people. It's not as easy as it sounds.

@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!

Who loves not the Carter Family?

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

When was this beautiful song ? 1939 ?

Daniel Boone was the first white man in Kentucky😊

Like this one, Sara, close to soprano. What year was this?

@trublucountry Better than going to church!

Thank you all for leaving a comment! ~Baasting

why cant they still live :(

What record/CD is this from?

come with me

Jesus's people have returned to their home
