44 years after it's release, I'd have to say that this Blue Ridge Quartet album was very appropriately named. After all this time, all 10 songs on this collection are forever hits.
Released at the same time as "Reflections" and "Solid Gold", together they represented 30 of the best songs the Blue Ridge had to offer. Most were re-recordings of tracks on their previous LP's released on Canaan Records.
LaVerne Tripp contributes 3 songs he wrote, beginning with the opening track, "That Day Is Almost Here." His huge hit "It's Worth It All" is also here, along with "I've Got A Song." Donnie Seabolt adds his incredible tenor voice to "The Lighthouse" and :The Eastern Gate", and of course you'll never tire of listening to Burl singing "This Ole' House". You'll get your toes tapping and fingers snapping with "he Paid The Debt For Me". Patriotism shines through with "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic". Also here for your listening pleasure - the timeless hymn "The Old Rugged Cross" and Bill Gaither's song "He Touched Me."
Solid Gold and Reflections are amazing pieces of vinyl in their own right. Songs such as "I Know", "That's Enough", "A Man Who Is Wise", "Wings Of A Dove", "Oh, Glory Hallelujah", "After Calvary", "How Great Thou Art", "God Bless America", "I've Been Born Again", "Rise And Shine", "Jesus Is Coming Soon"...
So grab a turntable and let the Blue Ridge bring the peace, joy, love, and happiness the Gospel brings into your home! And just in case you weren't aware, all three LP's are available now on 1 CD - see the side of this blog for ordering information.
