There is no printing on the back cover. The best that I can tell from listening to the record is that The Gospel Trio was made up of three women and Rev. Sherley Adkins was the featured male vocalist.

I just blogged a record that features Billy Roop (a member of this group) and her family. Surprise, the next record on my stack to blog turns out to be this record featuring Roop and members of The Pineville, Kentucky Penecostal Church group she sang with.

Normally I do not post entire albums to conserve server space, but this album was so much fun that I just could not pick just one song as the feature sample.  The album features a little bit of everything, great female and male vocals, peppy arrangements and rockabilly.

It Took The Best Heaven Had - Billie Roop

You Don't Have Far To Go

I've Got Confidence

It Took The Best Heaven Had

The Roop Family members were part of a Pineville Pentecostal Church group known as The Uplifters. The cover and title suggest that the record is a solo project for Billie Roop. However, the song It Took The Best Heaven Had is credited as having been written by Roop. So I think the marketing idea was to feature her and this song and the album, as a whole, is a family project.

There is a list of studio musicians on the jacket. A guitar is not credited. So I think the odd guitar is probably being played by a Roop in the sample You Don't Have Far To Go, (a tune Roop also wrote). Apparently the owner of Lundy Records, David Duane Lundy, played drums on this LP.

This record is unusual and wonderful.
