Album Notes

THE BLUEGRASS GOSPEL

This collection of bluegrass gospel tunes is the first full-fledged recording I ever did. It came out initially in 1986 on tape cassette and eventually went out of print. I’m bringing it back out now on CD at the request of family and friends. Though not quite as polished and produced as some of the music I do now, I think it has an energy and freshness that more than makes up for it. I hope you agree. I didn’t have a band to play with, so ... I became one: the Golden Glory Ramblers! For more info see www.jackpearson.org jack@jackpearson.org
