In the 1970's, as a Blue Ridge fan and a kid with a cassette recorder, I spent many hours in front of our stereo, compiling tapes of my favorite songs. Technology has changed, but now I'm a Blue Ridge fan and an old man with a computer, spending hours compiling CD's of my favorite songs! Nothing against the period of time when George Younce sang with the Blue Ridge, but from 1947-1956, and 1964-1981, Burl Strevel sang bass, and sang it well! Well enough for me to gather 33 songs showcasing his talents, and put them together on 1 CD. So for those who can never get enough Burl, here is "Burl's Best To You"!
All of your favorites are here - Jubilee, This Ole House, Must I Empty Handed Go, When We Sing Around The Throne Eternal, Old Gospel Ship, Happy Rythym... along with songs I'd forgotten about, going back into the late 1940's Blue Ridge radio shows.
