The Stanley Brothers - God's Highway / I Feel Like Going Home
(King 6059) Oct 1966
This 7" was taken from the Stanley's A Collection Of Original Gospel And Sacred Songs LP, which had been released earlier in the 1966.
Both sides are co-credited to Carter and Ralph, although neither is particularly inspiring. God's Highway is probably the better of the two, with George Shuffler's cross-picked guitar embellishing the otherwise stripped down instrumentation, and reasonably appealing vocal by Ralph on the chorus and Carter on the verses. I Feel Like Going Home is more uptempo and sounds more like a traditional gospel song with it's repetitive chorus refrain of 'I Feel Like Going Home'.
Until the '80s, neither track was reissued and aside from this 45 was only available A Collection Of Original Gospel And Sacred Songs LP.
Both sides of the single can be found on The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD box set.
For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 191-193 and 218.
