  • Description

    Classic Recordings of Early Country Gospel by John and Frances Reedy and their Stone Mountain Band including 2 CDs and a 20 Page Booklet.



    John and Frances Reedy made the kind of music that really gets hold of you; it's both deeply moving and intensely powerful. Highlighting their compelling performances is the great singing of Frances Reedy who ranks among the finest country vocalists ever recorded. The musicians who, along with Frances and John formed the Stone Mountain Band, brought innovative arrangements and great vitality to these 1960's recordings, including the great Jimmy Murphy who sings and plays guitar on two tracks.



    Frances and John were also skilled songwriters and their recordings influenced many country legends like Ralph Stanley who said he learned "Oh Death" from them, and Bill Monroe, Roy Acuff, and many others covered thier songs like their all time classic, "Somebody Touched Me".
