Liner Note Author: Kip Lornell. Editor: Carla Borden. Photographers: Jack Delano ; Ben Shahn; Marion Post Wolcott; John Vachon. After combing through their large vaults, the compilers at Smithsonian Folkways collected 22 performances -- largely from the late '50s and early '60s -- by a raft of Southern gospel artists to produce an excellent disc, Classic Southern Gospel. Southern gospel, in most contexts, means country or bluegrass-gospel as performed by whites, and these performances are no different. Opening with a live 1956 performance by Bill Monroe, the collection includes tracks by familiar names (Dock Boggs, Doc Watson, the Country Gentlemen) and many that are less familiar. It is the obscure performances, many released on CD for the first time, that shine here, including "Away Over in the Promised Land" by A.L. Phipps and the Phipps Family, "No Tears in Heaven" by Kilby Snow, and "Old Country Church" by Tom Morgan. Appearing in the liner notes is an essay, "Modern Southern Gospel Music," that may be educational for listeners, although it can't escape the dry academicism of a museum. Even the comments on the songs are rather pedantic too, adding four parenthetical commas to an earlier Bill Monroe quote. ~ John Bush

I get a little apprehensive when purchasing from websites outside of Amazon, because of their reliability and overall hassle of opening another account and filling out with what seems be like 7 pages of personal info and address. My feelings were no different here, however I was drawn in by the low price and helpful reviews of the product which eliminated any 2nd guessing I had, not to mention the overall professionalism of the website layout . In my experience a bad website layout is usually the first sign of a shady dealer and sub par service. Taking all this into account I took a shot and followed through with the purchase. What I found was a rather simple 1-page checkout form, and my account was created and item was purchased! Receipt of order was already in my inbox when I check immediately after; this is great because I hate printing receipts, and it's another positive note that the website/ company has all their ducks in a row. My item shipped same day, to which I received another notification email. I received the item two days later, much faster than I had expected. Because of the awesome reviews I even knew how to unpackage my item without damaging it. Overall my experience was a 10 out of 10 and definitely will not hesitate to order from J&R again.
