“Far Side Banks of Jordan” is a gospel song many may know from funeral or memorial services. Mike and Marty have now released their own version of it. And I can say this is one of my new favorites by the brother and sister duo. Why is that? Well, the singing on this one is amazing. It’s always good from these two, but I really…
“Vision of Mother” is one of the sadder songs we’ve seen Mike and Marty do – a tune paying tribute to a beloved mother who has passed away. This one follows their version of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” from back in June, which was also a song about a mother’s passing. So it’s a theme they’ve gone to twice in a short period now….
“Will The Circle Be Unbroken” was originally written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon, with music by Charles H. Gabriel. Versions of it were later more famously recorded by The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – with variations in lyrics and music. Now Mike and Marty contribute their own effort to the unbroken circle line. Their version of the song…
Ben and Rose have joined with Rose’s siblings Mike and Marty to do a lovely rendition of “Palms of Victory”. This just released today, and I bet it’s going to get a lot of listens 🙂 Rose was previously in a group with brother Mike and sister Marty, called Third Fret Harmony, which we’ve seen here before. Really neat to see them uniting/re-uniting on this…
Nice new song just out from brother and sister duo Mike & Marty. “Go Rest High On That Mountain” is a song by country artist Vince Gill. This song gives me similar vibes to the duo’s first studio song on YouTube, “Sing Me Back Home“. It’s a country tune with Christian themes, as you’ll see in the lyrics below. Mike sings lead on this one;…
We’ve got another new tune from Mike & Marty, this one a Dolly Parton classic – “Coat of Many Colors”. Not having any other paper at hand, Parton famously wrote the lyrics to this song down on a dry cleaning receipt while on tour in 1969. This is a favorite song of many. The coat of many colors here is not the Biblical coat given…
A nice new song was recently released by brother and sister duo Mike and Marty Fisher. First a note on their name. We’ve known them til now as Third Fret Harmony – a group which also once included their sister Rose, of Ben & Rose. Mike has confirmed with me officially that yes, they have a new name – simply Mike & Marty. I think…
Here’s a nice new song by Third Fret Harmony, comprised of brother and sister duo Mike and Marty Fisher. This is a tune originally by Kris Kristofferson – another religious song, sung in a slow country style. Wikipedia has this interesting background note in its description of the song: According to country music historian Bill Malone, Kristofferson wrote the song during an emotionally low period…
Third Fret Harmony, who earlier this year brought us their versions of “Sing Me Back Home” and “Sing Me A Song About Jesus” are back with a new song. This time it’s a more contemporary choice – “In The Palm Of Your Hand”. This one was written by Ron Block and first recorded in the 1990s by Allison Krauss and the Cox Family. If you…
Here’s a song from Third Fret Harmony which dates back a couple of years. This is from the time when they were recording songs live on their own, prior to making produced studio music. But it’s a neat one to see as it includes all three siblings in the group – Mike, Marty, and Rose from Ben and Rose. The song is a cover of…
