Details:
Song fully successful comes songwriter Joyce Allsup, almost swept away by the global response of her ever-so-popular duet, âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashes (In the Morning)â which was a chart winner in the 60âs, sung by The Grand Old Opry duo, Carl and Pearl Butler, of Columbia Records. There was a single, a greatest hits album, and a cd released on Koch Records. It now has acquired world acclaim, as it has been recorded and released many, many times through the years by numerous artists, and has many current releases and re-issues.

âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ has been sweeping the countries, internationally, sung by the amazing âGram Parsons and EmmyLou Harris,â for a number of years, and is also released in many languages. With these two well-known legends singing her song, Iâd say, Joyce Allsup must have been born a songwriter!

By the way, Joyce hails from a small town in Virginia, called Schuyler, which is the setting for the famed âWaltonâs Mountainâ TV series, and regards all the Waltonâs as very good friends. Joyce resides in Hendersonville, TN now, and loves it.

It didnât take long for Nashville to welcome her into the music industry, as she is a versatile, prolific, and very original writer. Joyce wasted no time. She went to recording company executives and was told âshe was writing ahead of her time. Her songs were recorded and released immediately. That was like adding fuel to a flame!

So therefore, very soon her songs had attracted major artists, major labels, and âHall of Famers.â To name a few:

Artist & Song
Carl & Pearl Butler â âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ
Gram Parsons & EmmyLou Harris â âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ
Worldwide artists â Too numerous to mention â âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ
Mel Tillis â âCan You Build Your House (On Another Manâs Grave)â
Lefty Frizzell â âYou Donât Have to be Present to Winâ â Album & Box Set
Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn â âI Reached for the Wineâ â Album & Box Set
Porter Wagoner â âMy Baby Turns the Lights on Uptownâ â Album
Stonewall Jackson â âTouch Me Notâ â Album
Jimmy Dickens â âCan You Build Your House (On Another Manâs Grave)â
Bobby Wright â âNo, Not Quiteâ â of the âMcHaleâs Navyâ â TV Show
And the list goes on and onâ¦

Joyce is an affiliate of BMI, and naturally has many friends while writing in the 60âs, 70âs, 80âs, 90âs, and on through 2005. Her tunes are found in all genres, also all formats, and as mentioned, in many different languages.

Among the many accomplishments like top 10 songs and many others in the national charts it seems that âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ has now become an old standard and sheâs elated about it. The song is also on EmmyLou Harrisâs album, titled âLate Date,â released in 1982, then in 1984, followed by a cd, later released in 1999, a real big chart-winner on Eminent Records, that stayed there for a long time.

Hope youâre acquainted with the Gram Parsonâs Tribute Concert in California, now on DVD, called âSin City,â hosted by Polly Parsonâs, Grams Daughter. I loved John Doe and Kathleen Edwardsâs performance of âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashes.â It was very good and in a California newspaper it was said to be the highlight of the show!

The song is also featured on a CMT video, also on on the film âFallen Angelâ showing in the U.K., with Gram Parsons, soon to be in the U.S. on DVD.

It looks like Joyce Allsup knows what to do with a song, get them multi-recorded! One thingâs for sure, sheâs always writing one. Yeah, she jumped into music like a flash fire, but her career of 35 years was destined to be a long-burn, and âWeâll Sweep Out the Ashesâ (In the Morning).
