Release Year: 1998?
Album Rank for Group: #1 of 1
Here’s a blurb: As we near the top of the countdown, we’ll start seeing some big-time quartet recordings, right? Here’s a curveball for you. The Rochesters have been a fixture at Les Butler’s Front Porch Fellowship Awards at NQC for several years now, and they were fixtures at my church in the late 1990s, around the time Heritage was recorded. You can call it a sentimental childhood favorite, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other reasons to like it. I have enough bluegrass gospel music to know what good bluegrass gospel music is, and this is it. The Rochesters have always recorded great songs with Biblically sound lyrics, and have built their sound around two outstanding vocalists: siblings Becky and Ben. After Heritage, they would go on to more success and record three projects with Crossroads, but this one will always be my favorite. If you happen to find a copy online, do yourself a favor and get it.
