I've been surfing for Easter tunes, and I've found a couple of goldmines where you can hear recordings and/or get lyrics. The Max Hunter Collection has recordings, sometimes MIDIs, and lyrics for things I had heard elsewhere, but much MORE that I have never seen or heard.

The following index of links to individual songs is most (if not all) of the gospel stuff at the Collection, and most (if not all) of the following, are actually gospel songs. *G* Now, bear in mind, I was motormousing along pretty fast, so this ain't perfect-- but enjoy!

the Max Hunter Collection also has transcribed music for a lot of those songs - and there are a lot of songs there! Frequently there will be multiple versions or variations of a songs - and links between them!

I want to urge people to be thoughtful about posting the songs themselves. A thorough search to see if they are already here is important. My hope is that the collection will be there, online, forever, and that we do not need to duplicate it here. I am curious though if posting this list of gospel pieces will spark a round of commentary here on origins, etc., and discographic notes.

Maybe SMSU would like to include a link to Mudcat, as a preferred place to discuss items in the Collection. I did drop Dr. Murray a note about having posted this, and maybe he will look in.

Thanks for the reminder Susan. I've been there many times, but never thought to look this sort of thing up. Will be spending a lot more time there, just looking at each of these.

MMario, yes, those alternate versions of songs is one of the aspects I enjoy most about the Hunter Collection.

An often used resource. Check Links and scroll down to Max Hunter; the Link is already there. I always go through the alphabetical index to make sure I have picked up the different versions and variant titles, as MMario suggests.
Another one frequently used is the Carter family : Carter

Oh, I know the rest of you guys beat me to that site-- these are just a list of gospel tunes to save people with that specific interest the time to comb through them. Sometimes you need to see a song title to get pulled in.

I felt so dumb now, for waiting so long to go there! It never occurred to me that there would be gospel there!

I'm on several of Max Hunter's tapes, but probably none of the Gospel stuff. I was playing banjo on numerous occasions when he was recording certain old time fiddlers in the SW MO and N AR areas.

Naw, George, I didn't think you meant it that way. I'm feeling dum all on my own! *G* But I have been finding PILES of great stuff, and I have LOTS of songsheets done up, new verses added, multiple versions edited together, and so forth, from the other collections I've been plumbing. I'm thinking about how to organize it to share it.

Hey lardingo, thanks for checking in on this! Can you tell us more about how the collection was made, and how he chose singers? Any notes anywhere I didn't find? And what are you playing these days?

yes, the compiled list of Gospel is a Very Good Thing - I didn't mean to denigrate it at all...(a ton of work done there Wys - but I'm sure I'm not telling you anything! *grin*)

And "WOW" lardingo! I suspect that I'm not the only one who is really surprised that someone in the collection is also posting here on the MudCat. (though when you *think* about it - there's no reason not)

Susan, two suggestions

1 - Print them up in a booklet form. Set it up to do one song per page if possible.
2 - If possible, print out as a PDF format, which can be downloaded
3 - Make an HTML page on the subject, listing the songs, and listing the PDF file as being available for download

Second suggestion, do the whole thing up, as a series of web-pages, or even one BIG web-page.-

 

Charcloth, yes, you're quite correct. This IS an amazing site. Both Max Hunter's Collection, and Mudcat.

I was thinking of a CD with Word files, plus scans of the handwritten arrangements, and the Real Audio clips I have for many of them. I can't quite wrap my head around doing a website or putting them at someone's... keeping it updated sounds like not-me. But I can dump what I have onto a CD pretty easily, to mail people. This will not happen soon, but I hope it will happen. And I need to do a backup too, right away, because I don't think I could do it all over again! *G*

I appoint Mmario as custodian of the files if anything ever happens to me. He knows where I live! *G*

Among other gems, there are some hard-to-find Louvin Brothers gospel songs HERE.

That site also has a lot of other good stuff, that looks at first like it duplicates other online collections. But if you look carefully you will find additional treasures there missed in the other sites. And don't overlook the occasional gospel piece by these artists: Foley, Gill, Griggs, Hall, Herndon, Judd, Loveless, McCoury, Parton, Robbins, Watson, Williams, Womack, Wynette.
