“Carry Me Across the Mountain” was written by Billy Smith, Jeff White and John Pennell. Dan Tyminski recorded it as the title song of a solo album released in 2000.
The song tells a hard mountain story. A mother carries her sick child across the mountain, desperate to reach a doctor who might save the child’s life; the lyric stays with that act of endurance against long odds.
Tyminski, long a mainstay of Alison Krauss and Union Station, brought his clear lead voice to the song.
