1. Cheer The Weary Traveler (The Kingsmen from Missing People) – This is a new recording of the old convention song. The Kingsmen keep their roots, as evidenced here, while also branching out a little farther on their new release from Horizon Records.
2. He Will Remember Me (Archie Watkins from Pouring Out Blessings) – This Lance Carpenter tune from Archie Watkins is his first solo release since retiring from The Inspirations.
3. I Heard About A Stone (Kevin Spencer Family from Some Dawning) – This is a Southern Gospel classic from the Kevin Spencer Family. This was one of the family’s biggest songs.
4. Roll Back River Jordan (Mark Trammell Trio from Love To Tell The Story) – From the debut project of the group, this was one of my favorites from the album. It was also the very first song that I heard live from the group at one of their debut concerts. It’s a good one.
5. Some Of These Days (Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver from Gospel Parade) – Barry Scott shows his piano prowess on this “Bluegrass” tune. This entire album is a gem, but this song really stands out on the project.
6. This World Is Not My Home (Daybreak Quartet from Hymns) – Another song with great piano accompaniment. With reviews of the group here, here & here, I felt there was nothing left to say in a review. It’s a great project from an up and coming group.
So are you saying that the Kingsmen song is a new song? or only a new recording?
I have an anthology with a recording of the Rebels Quartet (I believe) doing it decades ago. You did get me to listen to it to see if it might be a new one with the same name!
It should’ve been new recording of the old song…my bad!
Love the DL&Q shoutout! Thanks for adding a number from my favorite album.
Our conversation on Southern Gospel Forums about the album was my inspiration for adding the song, so Thank you for rekindling my interest in the album!
