This song is dedicated to her loved ones ,family and friends!!!

thats a fun song, the more I listen to Anita the more I think she be one if not the best female vocalist from the south ever. And the rest of the family were great too but not at her level. But no one is! just amazing!

[@josephsardena3525]

Without doubt one of the most under rated female singer of modern times !

Chester Atkins and Anita Carter. I was gonna say "the two best"...but part of their appeal was the modesty. So I'll just say "my two favorites".

[@tonylupo1764]

Well put, I know you're a real fan of theirs ! As am I.

Never heard this song before and Loved it! After some checking I believe Anita Carter (March 31, 1933 - July 29, 1999), sang "Freight Train Blues" in the 1950s, in any case I also love her sister June who was equally as talented; On another note this song reminded me of another video tune I loved with Grandpa Jones "Mountain Dew (1961)" during that video before he started singing he told a joke that went something like when he was a boy he and his uncle use to go hunting and when ever they come by Train Tunnel his uncle always would say there are pretty girls in there because every time the steam whistle train went in it would toot Wooo, Wooo and when it came out the other end it came out (panting) /h/h//h/h/h/h/h/ . . . ~ anyway I thought it was the funniest clean joke I had heard in ages! Anita was certainly a beautiful home grown country gal

[@tonylupo1764]

Anita sang it in the 40's as a young teenager on WRVA and the Old Dominion Barn Dance.

WOW! What a well supported high B flat. I know operatic sopranos who don't hold them out that long.

[@wdachthetniet3512]

you're right Tony i think i never heard a clearer better voice in my life and i'm 66 :-) Thank you for posting b saehrendt i love it :-)

She's got quite a range in that voice. A shame she passed away so young with her last 10 years in miserable pain. I sure hope God has good reasons why things like that has to happen.

[@spencerkunikiwass4660]

+abfabinri Not really..what a horrible thing to say

[@alicejcarlisle4159]

The first time I heard this song was about 1946/47 when juke box song cost 5 cents. I don't remember who sang it at that time.

[@peggymarsheck4926]

Roy Acuff recorded it in the 1930's, but it didn't sound like this!

[@papiergeest]

I agree, this song is amazing!!! You might want to edit the description of the song, i think you meant "angel" not "angle".

[@bobbygookin1406]

Maybe he did mean angle - after all, her voice was on the square!

[@kds2924]

Don't be obtuse... 😉

[@jimmybusk]

HOLY CATS !! What year is this from?

[@peggymarsheck4926]

1950

[@nitropost]

Sorry Bob. she holds it way better!

[@johnnall443]

The song is amazing. I'm not so sure about this rendition.
