Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone

From a recent Bluegrass Underground concert, the Cox Family performing "Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone".  Playlist for more performances from this concert.

Far Side Banks of Jordan

Three versions of "Far Side Banks of Jordan ". The first by the Carter Family, probably from the 1950's or early 60's, although the video in this one does not actually go with the audio. The second performance by Johnny Cash and June Varter Cash probably from around 2000. Finally a very recent version by the Cox Family.

Desire

After almost twenty years The Cox Family has released a new album, Gone Like The Cotton. Nothing but audio, but her is "Desire", one of the tracks off the album.

A Wound Time Can't Erase

I don't remember hearing this song before. Just the audio of Alison Krauss and the Cox Family performing "A Wound Time Can't Erase".

I Am Weary, Let Me Rest

"I Am Weary, Let Me Rest" performed by the Cox Family. I believe this is from the Down From the Mountain tour.

The Cox Family

A video with two gospel songs from The Cox Family today.

"Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown"/"Everybody Wants to go to Heaven"

Walk Over God's Heaven

I haven't posted any gospel music for a while, so today's post is going to include several versions of Thomas A. Dorsey's song "Walk Over God's Heaven". This is probably one of his most popular songs, and is performed in many different genres.

Mahalia Jackson was probably one of the first singers to record this song. Even though I cannot find a video of her performing it live, I have to include her version of it, so here is the audio of her recording of he song.



Here is an amusing video set to Alison Krauss and the Cox Family's recording of the song.



I have to think that if Dorsey could hear this next version of the song he would be blown away. This is the Wheaton College Gospel Choir.
