Anita Carter - Voice Of The Bayou [HD]

Anita Carter sings 'Voice Of The Bayou' from her 1963 Mercury album 'Anita Carter Sings Folk Songs Old And New'. Carter was the daughter of Ezra and Maybelle of the Carter Family - the most famous singing family in country music. On this 1963 album she was the first to record the song that was the huge Johnny Cash hit 'Ring Of Fire'. Many songs collected or written by the Carter Family are sung by country and folk performers to this day; Joan Baez sang a number of them on her early albums.

Wonderful performance. ❤

[@MJones-hi9cr]

Thank you.

[@richardhudson9291]

The only singer that can do this song so elegantly with perfect tones. Foolhardy for another to try and cover this as well.

[@sharksport01]

I agree. I wonder if Sweet Little Cherokee by k.d.lang was influenced by this.

She has a beautiful voice and also very beautiful is the girl in the bayou. Breathtaking. Never mind the Bible thumpers

Beautiful song by an amazing singer. But the video is crap.

[@jimgrice1678]

The video is stupid. So insulting to her beautiful voice.

[@rosier5428]

She’s singing about voodoo

[@washedinblood]

This girl could out sing Patsy Cline.

[@Endtimescoming]

Possibly, she did have a really great voice, amazing she wasn't more well known. I am not sure she could outsing Patsy but she was certainly on par and its a shame she never got the level of regocnition she deserverd. Was she overshadowed by Johnny and June? I don't know. But she was country royalty and really should have been more famous than she was certainly had the best voice of the carter sisters.

Like Gordon Lightfoot and Connie Francis had a baby.

[@TheGrinchStoleMyBong]
