    Default Clifton and Duffey

    I'm looking for "Mother Still Prays For You" by Bill Clifton and John Duffey. I heard it on the radio a few wks ago. Google taught me that it's on "Bill Clifton Meets the Country Gentlemen" which looks like a great project, but I can't find it, nor any collection that's got it. Anyone know where I can get it?

    Thanks

    Bob

    Bob, Did Google say what label that recording was on, if so maybe contacting them would help you....

    I don't know if this helps you, but the song itself is available on "The Gospel Side of Bill Clifton", recorded with his Dixie Mountain Boys or you can download it as an MP3.

    Another route you can take is by having Vinyl Revolution make a digital CD for you directly from the LP for $34.95. I did this with one of my favorite albums "A Lonesome Wail From the Hills" by Carl Story and His Rambling Mountaineers. Works great!

    Rather not pay $34.95. It's on the London(Japan) label.

    I really would like to get the Clifton and Duffey version rather than the Dixie Mt Boys. Clifton and Duffey sounded fantastic. I assume the rest of the album is great.

    Well, I'm sure you can find an LP somewhere, but unless you have a turntable you'll have to transfer it to CD or cassette. Just trying to help.

    But, I love Duffey's mandolin work too!

    Most turntables now come with a USB connector so you can concert vinyl to MP3 music files.
    I have one and it's pretty easy to do, and it makes for some good quality audio files!

    I have the turntable and connections. I just need to find the LP.

    I know the song, but Clifton & Duffey singing it is just superb.

    Your Mother Still Prays For You

    The night was dark and stormy
    The wind was howling wild
    As an aged mother gazed upon
    The portrait of her child

    As she gazed on the baby's features
    That once filled her heart with joy
    He's now in this wild world roaming
    That mother's long lost boy

    Your mother still prays for you, Jack
    Your mother still prays for you
    In a home far over the ocean
    Your mother still prays for you

    At last there came a letter
    It was deeply edged in black
    From a comrade long forgotten
    Who still remembered Jack

    They have lain your dear old mother
    In a grave so dark and cold
    And she wants her boy who is roaming
    To meet her on the streets of gold

    His stony heart was broken
    As he thought of his mother dear
    And in spite of his comrades laughing
    He could not keep back his tears

    In spite of the great temptations
    That once filled his heart with tears
    So he started for Heaven that evening
    As sweetly the people did sing
