The Stanley Brothers - Over In The Glory Land / Mother Left Me Her Bible

(King 5367) Jun 1960


Over In The Glory Land

This 7" was recorded at the sessions for the For The Good People and released a couple of months prior to the LP's release in August.

'Billboard' magazine reviewed the single in their 27 Jun 1960 issue, describing: Over In The Glory Land as "Sacred side by an outstanding duo. Authentic hill sound."; and Mother Left Me Her Bible as "Very strong item for the sacred field. The Brothers sing this with fervor and authentic styling." Each song got 3 stars out of 5.[1]

Both tracks have subsequently been heavily reissued, of which the 4xCD box set The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 is probably the best.

 

For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 100-105 and 142-144.
