Feel Like My Time Ain't Long

A cappella gospel quartets are such an established part of the US Bluegrass scene, it will surprise some to learn it was only 35 years ago that Ralph Stanley introduced the idea. The sound caught on amazingly quickly with both fans and musicians. The purest, most direct form of vocal expression in Bluegrass, the appeal of a cappella quartets is basic and universal. There is just something profoundly moving about four voices joined in song. This disc brings together 15 of the finest a capella gospel tunes in the Rebel Records catalogue.
