Album Notes

Ron and Bari are the core duo and founding members of the contemporary acoustic folk band, THE ROADSIDE REVUE (see album "Getting Out of Town" also listed with CD Baby). Since the late 1980's they have toured and played the Florida folk music festival and concert circuit, as well as performances in the Carolinas, and the Deception Pass Music Festival in Seattle, Washington. While gospel music has always been an important part of their high energy presentations, there has been an ever increasing demand from friends, fans, and family for an album dedicated to the music giving praise and thanks to our Lord. "Gospel Thanks Given", their fourth release, is the proud result of these requests.

"Gospel Thanks Given" is a tightly performed collection of songs offering thanks, praise, hope and inspiration, played on acoustic instruments with a healthy dash of good old fashioned fun.
