This blog features Vintage Gospel Albums, the majority of which were recorded in the 1970's. Many of the LPs featured here were created by Cincinnati, Ohio area artists on private press recording and production labels such as Jewel, Rite and QCA (Queen City Album). Here you will find the Good, Bad & Ugly but never The Lackluster! I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!

In about 1982 i was selling books in Pike County Ohio door to door and kept hearing about the "singing Roar family" and went to their house in a holler and they invited me in as i told them i was a banjo player and they invited me to play and we had an impromptu jam session and played music. They were really good but i could keep up. I remember they had a moma cat with a liter of baby racoons nursing. They were sweet people and the real deal and were kind to a homesick young man from Texas feeling a bit lost in those hills. A good memory Can't believe i just found their music on the internet.
I'd sure like to hear a few more cuts from this album
