There's Nothing My God Can't Do
The Lord's Last Supper
Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford
& Daughter Jennie
Lasting Faith Records LFLP-16
This album features an actual printed cover, but the type is hand drawn giving the record a wonderful folk art look.
Apparently this is the second album Ledford pressed. From back cover: Jennie Ledford is 20 years old, single, and has been saved since she was 7. Great stuff.
And how can you go wrong with a name like Buck Ledford?
Great country gospel with cool organ stylings (Mildred Norton) backing up the picking and singing.
would you know where a person could find a recoring of the family I grew up listening to this man on a radio station in gate city va
ReplyDeleteBuck Ledford was an original member of the Happy Valley Boys who were weekly regulars on The Grand Ole Opry before he left the music industry in Nashville and became a minister and later was one of the founders of WLIL Radio Broadcast. Other family members include Country music golden legend Ronnie Milsap that is from Elva Ledfords side of the family as well as Blues musician Malclom Holcombe.
ReplyDeleteOur Indiana family rented a cabin at Hungry Mother State Park in WV. There wasn't a big selection of radio stations and Rev, Buck Ledford shared his music.

My name is Heather Ledford my dad is Billy Ledford the oldest of the five children. I have my grandparents albums on CD.s to listen to I grew up to his preaching and there singing I love and miss them.
ReplyDeleteI used to have an album with several of Pastor Ledford and his wife doing several of their songs but it has somehow gotten away from me. Can anybody tell me where to get his music on cd? jrcoffey2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI grew up next door to the Ledfords. Buck and Elva sang "stroll over heaven" at my mother's funeral. I sure wish I could hear them sing that beautiful song.
ReplyDeleteFred Giles (sp?) worked at WLIL several years ago, revived Brother Ledford's broadcast there and WDEH Sweetwater for a short while and also had The Ledfords albums (eleven of them, not all twelve though for repeats he sayed) put on CD by a guy in Harriman. I got them in the late Summer of 2004, not sure if they're available now. I also have to of them on vinyl, A Shut In's Prayer and The Great High Mountain. If you think their singing is hard to find, try to locate any of his messages LOL! http://www.jeremiah616.sermon.net
ReplyDeleteI love Precher Buck Ledford and Mrs Buck (Elva) Ledford. They were some of the Best people I knew. They had their faults, as everyone of us do. Preacher Ledford the night I got saved. To me my Grandfather and Preacher Ledford were two of the best Prechers I have had the pleasure to listen. I believe he lived what he preached. He made mistakes after all he was human. He was a Great person. I listened to him preach and busted his home for about 13 years 2 times a week Sunday morning and Sunday night. It was the very best time of my life. Even after getting married and moving to Mississippi I was always so Happy to known I would get to go to Morning Star in Maryville, Tn. I would love to be able to attend there and feel the sport and have the fellowship that we had at that Church again. But everything changes.Unfortunately. That’s the sad part He was awesome and I listen to their CD’s all the time. Now that takes me back home. See you all in Heaven
Deletelisten. Preacher Ledford cared about young people
