As a family,they were always changing harmonies and instrumentation around, and that's what led to this great performance.

They brought the mountain music out to us city folk...and many of us LOVED IT!!! The camera TD can’t keep up with this style of music! Nothing like it these days! Love it!!!!

I love this more uptempo version of "Hello Stranger." June was Mike's guest host for the week and Helen and Anita were there as musical directors. There was a light-hearted interview with the 3 sisters on one of the shows. You could tell they were enjoying themselves.

Love this clip Tony

Here the Carter ladies are well into their 50's but look and sound wonderful!

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Anita is 48 here.

Thanks for the video but the audio isn't synched. Would love to see it fixed and higher quality. Blessings.

This video was taken off an old VHS tape that sat around since 1986 I'm just glad it exists. thanks goes out to Freeman Kitchens the Carter family/sisters fan club president since the 50s. Freeman recorded the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle at the Grand Ole Opry the first year they arrived in 1950 with an original transcription device with a built in radio from Bowling Green Ky.

I like the video but when you put the title down can you put 1986 they actually sang it in 1976 i’m not correcting you but just to make sure

[@tonylupo1764]

Well I actually watched the whole show and the year is actually 1981 so thanks for your input, but during an interview June says that her son John Carter Cash is 11 years old and he was born in March of 1970 so we were both wrong lol

[@dickmiles6639]

this version is not on a par with the orignal carter family

[@tonylupo1764]

You have your opinion, but I love both versions, just like apples and oranges! Love them both!

[@stewartfenton7660]

Those girls probably had their little niggles, but I know they were a tight family and loved each other. But I would have felt just a bit of resentment that the least talented, crazy one was helping to keep the other two in work.

[@MomoBaileybutt]

They were so tight, I doubt they resented anything and were just happy to perform together and be happy for one another.
