My God Can Do Anything
I'm His – He's Mine
Marco HI– FI Production
90914
Obscure label. Betty Baxter and Faye Penland worked out of Lincolnton, N.C.
From the back cover: It has never been the desire of the Baxter - Penland Evangelistic Party to achieve for themselves worldly fame. When their singing no longer inspires their audience, and their preaching ceases to bring help to troubled souls, then the Baxter - Penland Evangelistic Party will cease to exist.

(The yellow label disk is marked Rite 692, R-521-2 & Rite 18522-2 on the run-out)
Rite Records - Cincinnati, Ohio
Jewel LP NO. 109
This album turned out to be a fantastic find. Note from back cover of this early Jewel pressing indicates that this was Ely's first record (for Jewel).
Ely made his home in Florence, Kentucky. I found two copies of the album, both the gold and yellow labeled disks in Florence, KY charity shops (The second find came in 2024).
It has been my experience that most local artists of this vintage, recording on Cincinnati area labels such as Jewel or Rite are obscure and many have been lost to history. But not Ely. He wrote and recorded There Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold My Body Down), which Johnny Cash recorded. Elvis Presley also records an Ely song and Robet Duvall used Ely's music on the soundtrack of his movie, The Apostle. See Claude Ely's wikipage.
Musicians listed on the back cover include: Phil Miles - Electric Guitar, Denny Rice - Piano, J.D. Jarvis - Tamborine, Rev. Harley Hensley - Rhythm Guitar, Ray Wilson - Steel Guitar, Orangie Ray Hubbard - Bass and Hershell Lively - Drums.
Also from the back cover: He (Ely) appeared and worked on many radio stations including WCPM, Cumberland, Kentucky; WHLN, Harlan, Kentucky; WTCW, Whitesburg, Kentucky; WKIC, Hazard, Kentucky; WPFBm Middletown, Ohio; WNVA, Norton, Virgina; WCLU, Covington, Kentucky, and many others.
The ever present and multi-talented Rusty York wrote the liner notes and did the engineering chores.
Apparently a British label release a CD collection of Ely's tunes in 1993. From the cover, it appears like all the tracks are from his work pressed on a King Records release.
Ely passed away in 1978.

Nice bluegrass gospel album from a group who where working out of Milford, Ohio.
From the back cover: The group was organized in the early 60's. They started out as the Scott County Quartet and have traveled throughout areas of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee, having experienced many blessings from the Lord. They have recently had some additions to the group so they now call themselves, The Scott Countians.
