Going Home
Zion Records Presents Doug Chambers
LP 107

OK. What I've got here is your typical album jacket with the wrong record found inside. If you collect records... you know how often this happens. The record enclosed is apparently Chambers first album titled Zion Records Presents Doug Chambers rather than Footprints of Jesus. I was able to find a digital copy of this album (Footprints Of Jesus) and have included several samples here.

Later I found, Zion Records Presents Doug Chambers (Going Home) in the lot of records I purchased. The labels are different... but the Zion catalog number is the same.  So I thought that I would also present several samples from that album here. Both albums are quirky affairs featuring some outstanding jazz/swing/rockabilly picking along with Chambers odd vocals, strange arrangements and backing/studio vocalists that seem out of tune. The timing/tempo seems screwy on some tunes as well. This whacky blend really makes for a couple of unique and enjoyable LPs.

From the back cover: I want to express my sincere thanks to two outstanding artists who did a fine job in displaying their talents on this record. I was thrilled as I heard Mr. Don Lewis, the organist, begin the song, Calvary, in the first few minutes of the studio session. He certainly did a wonderful job as he played progressive lead on six of the songs. For a change in pace, the organ is alternated with a great sounding Western steel guitar, played by a dear friend, Rev. Jeremiah Hanley.

Transcendental Sisters Of St. Francis

No Beer In Heaven

Transcendental Sisters Of St. Francis
Music By Lenny Rich
Ray Records, Columbus, NE
RRSLP 2005

From the back cover: Transcendental is derived from the word transcendent which means, exceeding usual limits; surpassing, extending or lying beyond the limits or ordinary experience.

Yes, this album of upbeat tempo music is indeed exceeding beyond the normal limits of three very beautiful, religious Catholic Nuns who belong to the Convent of St. Francis of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Old Family Album

Since I Met The Lord

The Old Family Album
Featuring: Buddy

The record came in a jacket blank with a white hand-written sticker fixed to the acetate.

Record label as seen above is all the info I have to go on.

The surprise is the record features a full blown studio production with a session musicians and back-up vocalists.

I think the sample I posted features "Buddy" singing.

Carlisle Family Album - Old Time Great Hymns

Mary Don't You Weep

Carlisle Family Album
Old Time Great Hymns
Dedicated to the Late Mother and Dad Carlisle
Featuring Cliff and Bill Carlisle
Old Homestead Records OHCS-303

Obscure country gospel album. The only reference to the Carlisle family that I can find online is a German(?) wiki page that features bio material on Cliff Carlisle. I can make out that Cliff was born in 1904 in Taylorsville, Kentucky and passed away in 1983 while living in Lexington, Kentucky. I think the article states that he was a "pionier des Blue Yodeling", or maybe Bluesgrass(?) Yodeling? Anyway, there is no yodeling on this album.

The male vocal you hear on the sample and through out the record must be Cliff's(?). No credit is given to other male or female vocalist(s), but one can assume they are family members.

The jacket also states that the "album was originally recorded for the REM label (a small label located in Lexington, KY) but was never previously released".
