Nathan Stanley - Every Mile

(Willow Creek WCRSTAN00614) 2014

---

Nathan's 7th album, recorded at Maggard Sound, in Big Stone Gap, Va. is a highly polished modern sounding country gospel release...

Many of the tracks feature guest vocals including You Can't Make Old Friends which a couple of lines sung by Ralph Stanley. Ralph's voice sounds as if it's been tweaked a little (auto-tuned).

Five of other songs also have links to the Stanley's back catalogue: Baptism Of Jesse Taylor which Ralph recorded on his 1975 LP Let Me Rest On A Peaceful Mountain; Let Me In Your Heart by CMB Dewey Brown, which he recorded on his Hard Times For A Fiddler CD; (Going Up Home To Live In) Green Pastures which Ralph first recorded on his 1968 LP Over The Sunset Hill; Hand In Hand With Jesus which The Stanley Brothers recorded on Good Old Camp Meeting Songs; and Where Will You Go which Nathan recorded with Ralph Stanley on the 2008 Where Will You Go CD.
