PHIPPS FAMILY INTRODUCTORY
The Appalachian Mountains have long been recognized as a
res.ervoir for original forms of Early American Music. The Anglo-
Saxon heritage in these mountains is noted for its personal form
of family group singing tradition, which by instinct retains much of
its homemade flavor. The mountains of Southeastern Kentucky are
no exception; it was here that A. L. and Kathleen Helton Phipps
were quite naturally destined to carry on this tradition. Both were
reared with strict guidance of Christian parents. A. L.’s father, a
Baptist Minister, took an active part in singing at all religious
gatherings, once so very popular in rural areas before the days of
radio. In the late 20’s A. L. joined his father and other members
of the Phipps Family (PHIPPS QUARTET) to sing at churches,
conventions, and other public gatherings. It was in the mid 30’s
when A. L. Phipps found himself to be a natural born musician; his
favorite instrument of course was the guitar. He was inspired by the
old time artists, especially the Carter Family; and it was natural
for him to pick and sing the Carter Family style of music.
In the same valley, was Kathleen Helton Phipps, a quite good-
natured girl who had no brothers or sisters to raise a ruckus with.
So, she helped her father and mother on the farm, and in her spare
time joined in with her mother who sang the old style family songs.
Although Kathleen owned a fiddle from early childhood days,
she chose a guitar as the instrument she liked best to accompany
her singing. While playing and singing on a special occasion at a
neighbor’s home, it so happened that A. L. Phipps was invited to
bring along his guitar and join Kathleen in this performance. Soon
after this they were married and settled in the valley. It was only
natural for them to develop their singing heritage and soon, through
the medium of radio and other performances they got the attention
of the recording companies. They were brought to their studios to
record and were on their way to become national and international
recording stars. The Phipps Family’s children became links in the
chain of tradition; Helen, Leemon, and Bolon have thus far recorded
with the Family and by this time the Phipps Family are well known
to all of the English speaking nations of the world.
One of America’s greatest heritages is the old time Gospel songs
that have been handed down from generation to generation. This has
been made possible by many country recording artists. One among this
number is Carl Story; he has the ability to play and sing these songs
in the original way.
Carl Story who hails from the Carolina Mountains, formed a group
about twenty years ago. Their name is, Carl Story and His Rambling
Mountaineers. This group was noted as one of the tops on the WNOX
Mid-Day Merry Go-Round. They appeared on many radio stations
and TV shows.
Two of the most outstanding recordings by Carl Story, “Light at
the River,” and “Mighty Close to Heaven, ’ have been included in this
album. It is their hope and sincere desire that these recordings will
bring joy and a spiritual up-lift to all listeners.
The Carter Family dates back to August 1, 1927, when A. P., Sara,
and Mabelle Carter made their first recordings in their home town
Bristol, Tennessee. The Carter family became one of the most out-
stand recording stars throughout all the English-speaking World.
They recorded many songs through the years including 1941, and
at that time the Carter Family retired for about 15 years. On April
20, 1956, in Bristol, Tennessee, and in the same old brick building,
there was a reunion of the Carter Family and the recording world
knew them once more. This time the group included A. P. Carter.
Sara, their son Joe, and daughter Jeanette. This get-together and
recording session began a new series of wonderful recordings. This
was their last recording session before A. P. Carter died.

Just came across this for the first time. Good old gospel group. Does anyone know what years they sang?

[@gallimoresgoods]

Looks like it was late 20s and 30s. I just added some more info in the description of this video that gives more details about them. Unfortunately, I am only allowed 5000 characters in this video description so I was unable to include the complete liner notes from the back of the album jacket. Anyone interested can search this record in my Ebay store to read the complete liner notes.
