Description
Larry Sparks, in his days with the King Bluegrass label and early Rebel years, recorded a generous amount of gospel songs, almost all of which were of very high quality. Some years ago Rebel gathered all this material and programmed two more or less equal albums worth of these gems, the first of which—Old Church Yard—was issued at that time and became a fan favorite. This second helping of his early gospel songs is another gem of a collection, with classic performances of “Gospel Train,” “Going Up Home to Live in Green Pastures,” “Ole Satan,” “Great High Mountain,” “Gonna Be Movin’” “I Am the Man, Thomas” and “Snow Covered Mound.” Recorded between 1974 and 2000, the sessions included backing by such names as Dave Evans, Tommy Boyd, Mike Lilly, David Harvey and Barry Crabtree.
