You've Been A Friend To Me

The Carters in their usual Christmas spot, about mid-career and technically at their peak. This year we begin some of their less religious material, though the theme is serious, and is also a Christmas greeting to the listeners out there.

The Carter Family: Sara Carter, Maybelle Carter, vocals, guitars; A.P. Carter, vocal.

New York NY 6/9/36 Decca 5283
