This CD includes the Stanley's Nov. '64 version of Lord, I'm Coming Home that was originally released on the John's Gospel Quartet LP (and reissued as Stanley Brothers Of Virginia, Vol. 4 LP); and both Amazing Grace & Drifting Too Far From the Shore from the Dec. '63 sessions which were originally released as John's Gospel Quartet (and reissued as Stanley Brothers Of Virginia, Vol. 3: Uncloudy Day).

The other material, particularly the Don Reno & Bill Harrell tracks, are excellent with largely exquisite harmony vocals through-out. Great stuff.

A huge thanks to Todd Gracyk for sending me his copy of this one! Thanks Todd!

 

For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 174-176, 186-189, 210 and 215-216.
