Please rate this album:

Featuring CMB's Junior Blankenship, Steve Sparkman and John Rigsby this is instrumentally quite a treat. Danny Lee Davis' tenor vocals are also eerily like Ralph's and the good Dr. himself makes an appearance on If That's The Way You Feel. Sadly, Larry Efaw's vocals are not quite in the same class.

The album was recorded at Maggard Sound, in Big Stone Gap, Va in July 2007 and was released on CD-R. You can still get copies from the band's website.

Larry Efaw had also previously recorded a Gospel cassette with Ralph, I Worship You, in 1988.

Stanley Efaw has also played mandolin in Ralph II's band.
