"Hide Me, Rock Of Ages" is the second full length album recorded by The Blue Ridge Quartet.
It was recorded in late 1959/early 1960, before "He Bought My Soul", but wasn't released until after that LP. It is by far my favorite of the George Younce era. His deep voice is featured prominently on the title song, as well as "Do You Know My Jesus", "On That Judgement Day", and "Just Another Mile." Elmo Fagg sings lead on the soft and reverent songs "Tenderly", "God Bless You, Go With God", and "Where No One Stands Alone.", as well as the upbeat "I've Been Changed", which also features Ed Sprouse hitting some tenor notes I can only dream of! "The Greatest Of All" , "I'll Follow Jesus", and "When I Inherit My Mansion" are all amazing songs. The album closes out with "Oh My Brother, Where You Headin'", Gospel Quartet singing at it's best - "The Sweetest Singing This Side Of Heaven!"
