Here is another Roar Family album I found recently. You might want to check out their album title Had It Not Been.

Good standard Bluegrass Gospel. The ladies sing about half the tunes on the album. Nice stuff.

Here's another great record featuring Harley Hensley (who sings two songs). Another artists include Barabra Ballard, Steve and Judy Ireland and Dennis Hensley. Side two features a sermon by Hensley and John Carter (shown on the cover, left).

Here is an earlier Hensley album featuring a great cover photo!

An album by Dennis Hensley's (?) wife, Mourine. Who may or may not backing up Dennis on his track on this album (uncredited backing vocal).

Arrangements and strings are credited to Junior Bennett.

Hensley was living in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky.

Completely obscure private press with high production values. Normally private press records don't feature artfully produced color covers and songs backed with a studio orchestra.

So when I saw this record in the thrift I thought the LP would turn out to be a "soul" or "doo wop" find.

Nope... Polka!

A gospel act from Nebraska.

From the back cover: When asked why he (Peters) doesn't sing Western, Popular or Rock and Roll songs, he says with a great big smile, "Well, in most of those songs, someone is either sad, crying, heartbroken, getting into trouble or just getting out of it... and I'm just not in that situation.

The Bridges Quartet
All Because Of Calvary
Jewel Recording Studios - Cincinnati, Ohio
LPS 157

I've got at least three other Bridges Quartet albums posted here. You should be able to search for them by group name.

This album has a nice photo of the group with their tour bus which points out how serious the Bridges were about touring.

The album features great country gospel as represented by the sample I posted above.
