Top 100: #50 Southern Classics (Gaither Vocal Band)
Release Year: 1993 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 7 Here’s a blurb: Southern Classics is the album that launched the Gaither Vocal Band into the southern gospel arena to stay. It was the only southern gospel album recorded by the stellar, but short-lived, lineup of Bill Gaither, Mark Lowry, Michael English, and Terry Franklin. …

Top 100: #51 He Lives in Me (Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver)
Release Year: 2006 Album Rank for Group: #3 of 7 Here’s a blurb: He Lives in Me is vocally the best-sounding gospel album in the extensive discography of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

Top 100: #52 Master Builder (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1986 Album Rank for Group: #6 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Master Builder finds the Cathedrals in the middle of their glory days, but in one way, it was the end of an era. It was the last of a string of studio projects produced by Bill Gaither; the quartet would famously call …

There is an exciting …

Top 100: #54 Live…in Atlanta (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1983 Album Rank for Group: #7 of 13 Here’s a blurb: What some believe to be the gold standard of live albums, Live…in Atlanta finds the Cathedral Quartet in their element. The Cathedrals made great studio albums, of course, but to really experience them was to see them live: George poking fun at …

Top 100: #55 You Can Have a Song (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 1991 Album Rank for Group: #9 of 13 Here’s a blurb: This is my favorite “table project” in the countdown, and along with On a Journey, was the debut of Greater Vision. Gerald Wolfe, Mark Trammell, and Chris Allman had, in my opinion, the greatest trio blend in the history of southern gospel. …

Top 100: #56 Goin’ Home (Gold City)
Release Year: 1989 Album Rank for Group: #13 of 15 Here’s a blurb: The Free/Parker/LeFevre/Riley lineup of Gold City was on top of southern gospel music by 1989, with a highly-polished, country-leaning sound. Goin’ Home is a solid collection of songs, although not quite as good as either of the album preceding or following it. …
