Greatest Old Time Gospel Hymns LP


Here's a really great album featuring the A.L. Phipps family and other artists. The Phipps family plays in a very similar style to the Original Carter Family, but the neat thing is that they perform a lot of different songs than the Carters did, so it's nice to hear these other songs in the style of the Original Carters. This album also features the Alton Delmore's Brown's Ferry Four, Carl Story, and the Original Carter Family.

Alton Delmore's Brown's Ferry Four - mid 1950s
Peaceful Home
Gonna Row My Boat
The Devil Is Mounted
Gonna Fly Away With Christ

Phipps Family
Life's Evening Sun Is Sinking Low
Never Alone

Carl Story & his Rambling Mountaineers
Light at the River
Mighty Close to Heaven

The Carter Family - cuts from radio transcriptions
Death is Only a Dream
Farther On

Phipps Family
When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder
Shall We Gather At the River
Leaning On the Everlasting Arms
There's a Fountain Filled With Blood
Oh What Is We Fail To Get There
There a Deep Settled Peace in my Soul
I Won't Turn Back
Oh Why Not Tonight
There is Power in the Blood
Lily of the Valley

  6. The Carl Story recordings are from rare sides done for Acme in 1959, and has Bonnie Lou and Buster Moore on the songs. They were never issued on anything else except the 45s.
