Top 100: #57 High and Lifted Up (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1993 Album Rank for Group: #8 of 13 Here’s a blurb: The song selection is tremendous on High and Lifted Up, the highest-ranked studio album from the last Cathedrals lineup. This was the last project for the legendary quartet that had a few big power ballads. Afterward, they would stick primarily to lighter, …

Top 100: #58 Beside Still Waters (Mark Trammell Trio)
Release Year: 2004 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 8 Here’s a blurb: The Mark Trammell Trio was not yet at their pinnacle with this recording, but it was another step in that direction. This was their first album that was composed primarily of new songs. While the vocals are top notch and the project …

Top 100: #59 Quartets (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 2003 Album Rank for Group: #10 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Simply a genius idea, Quartets matched Greater Vision with fifteen different bass singers, some active, and some (thanks to a little technology) already gone on to glory.

Top 100: #61 The Journey Home (Kingdom Heirs)
Release Year: 1999 Album Rank for Group: #8 of 10 Here’s a blurb: If City of Light was the first of the modern era of the Kingdom Heirs sound (dominated by Dianne Wilkinson songs), then The Journey Home is the last of the more Kingsmen-esque previous era, marked by Squire Parsons songs. This is an …

Top 100: #62 Something Good (Mark Trammell Trio)
Release Year: 2003 Album Rank for Group: #6 of 8 Here’s a blurb: Something Good was the Mark Trammell Trio’s first project that contained any new songs (three, to be exact). The strongest song, “It’s Jesus,” was the group’s first big hit. The covers are all very well done and show off the terrific vocal …

Top 100: #63 Help Is on the Way (Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver)
Release Year: 2008 Album Rank for Group: #4 of 7 Here’s a blurb: Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver’s most recent entry on this list follows the same formula as most of his albums: hard-driving bluegrass numbers, convention-style singing, and tender country ballads. But this album has something none of his others have had: a big southern …
