Top 100: #66 The Son Came Down (Inspirations)

Release Year: 2009

Album Rank for Group: #3 of 6

Here’s a blurb: The Son Came Down was the first Inspirations album in over a decade without Matt Dibler at lead, and the first ever released without Archie Watkins at tenor.  But the young lead David Ragan shone, and tenor Dallas Rogers channeled Archie on this very pleasing recording.  It was the start of the quartet’s transition to a more polished version of their traditional mountain sound.

Knock my socks off: Thank God I’ve Made It, Crown Him King

Don’t skip that one: Dealing with Gold, The Son Came Down, I Know Where He Lives, Walkin’ by Faith

I could honestly do without: The Potter
