Terry Smith, who was voted by the Traditional Music Association as its Songwriter of the Year in both 1995 and 1996, wrote "Far-Side Banks of Jordan," which is featured twice in Robert Duvall's movie, The Apostle, and is included on the film's soundtrack CD. June Carter Cash, who plays Duvall's mother, sings the song at the close of the opening scene, and later in the film, when she dies, an instrumental version provides background music. The song was also recorded by the Cox Family and Alison Krauss on their l995 Grammy-winning project, I Know Who Holds Tomorrow. Johnny and June Cash cut the first version of this song in the seventies, and June also recorded it with Mother Maybelle and her sisters as part of a Carter Family album. In fact, it is the Carter Family version that is used on The Apostle soundtrack CD, which won a Grammy in l999. In the spring of l999, June Carter Cash released Press On, her first solo album in over twenty-four years. She and Johnny Cash re-recorded "Far-Side Banks of Jordan" for this project, which won a Grammy in 2000; and before performing it on Press On, they tell an interesting story about when they first heard the song. Fast becoming a gospel and bluegrass standard, "Far-Side Banks of Jordan" has been recorded over 150 times, including renditions by Grand Ole Opry artist Ernie Ashworth and by the Statler Brothers on their album Amen and versions released in Australia, Canada, England, and Ireland. Anyone who hopes to keep loving someone beyond this mortal life can relate to this song.
