The first generation of Old-Time Country and Bluegrass stars drew heavily on gospel songs, many of which dated back to the gospel revivals of the late 1800 s or early 1900 s. These gospel songs simply cannot be surpassed. They ve survived the test of the ages, and their message still resonates with us as strongly as it did with our ancestors. Every generation has a role to play in handing down these gospel songs, and this collection is part of that ongoing process. Just as we look at old church pews and wonder about those who once sat there, so we listen to these gospel songs and this collection is part of that ongoing process.
