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.
