The Rankin Family - Backstage Pass

Jimmy, Cookie, Raylene, Heather, and John Morris

The Rankin rode shotgun in my old Mustang for years as I banged down the road as a reporter for a community paper. Their music is dear to my heart and always will be. Just magnificent

Thankfully this was recorded. A gem it is.

Nothing but PURE TALENT, you don't see that in today's music

[@RandomNonsense1985]

I could name at least one example of talent in modern music: The band Alvvays, led by none other than John Morris Rankin’s daughter Molly.

You are so right.There music reaches my soul Pure Celtic 🤗🙏❤️

[@yesimadeitmyself]

I saw them live that year ... a fantastic show 😍 I still listen to their music regularly. It stands the test of time 👍 very few groups have been able to stay together and highlight each members talents so well 🎶🎶

and you're not the only one still loving & listening to the Rankin family's wonderful music... a Celtic Kiwi from New Plymouth NZ ;-)

I was maybe 8 or 9 when I heard them for the first time....in Romania. 33 now....still missing the sound of my childhood. Thankful for their input into my musical knowledge.

'Eyes of Margaret' is a great song and I just found out it was written by John Morris Rankin. I always thought it was a standard from a long time ago.
