Album Of The Week – Week 1

The Best Of The Primitive Quartet - Vol. 2
The Best Of The Primitive Quartet
Volume 2?

While not a true SG album, The Primitive Quartet of Candler, NC, have been consistant in their contributions to gospel music.? ? Year after year they produce high-quality, bluegrass style music that gets a lot of airplay on Southern Gospel stations in the south.? Normally, I wouldn’t recommend a bluegrass-style album, but this album of “Greatest Hits” if you will, gives you the some of the best music that the Primitive Quartet put out.

The song list for this 2-CD project includes:

  1. The Blessings Of A Friend
  2. Safely Home
  3. A Letter From Home
  4. Lord Lead Me On
  5. He’s Still Passing By
  6. Family On Both Sides
  7. I’m Changing Houses
  8. You’ve Been An Inspiration
  9. Love Came Down
  10. We’ve Been So Blessed
  11. Far Side Banks Of Jordon
  12. A Bright Home (Where Grief Cannot Come)
  13. Reunion In Heaven
  14. If I Could Telephone Heaven
  15. God Can’t See Through The Blood
  16. God’s Only Son
  17. It’s Him
  18. Only Gone From Our Sight
  19. Walking In The Highway
  20. I Can’t, But God Can
  21. Hallelujah, He’s Risen
  22. Where The Roses Never Fade
  23. No Longer An Orphan

My personal favorite tracks from this project are “If I Could Telephone Heaven”, “Hallelujah, He’s Risen”, “No Longer An Orphan”, “Only Gone From Our Sight” & “He’s Still Passing By”.? Most tracks are good, but those are by far my favorites.

This double-disc project, along with their library of other projects,? is available online, directly from the Primitive Quartet here:
