Classic gospel hymns + bluegrass = this two CD set. It’s pretty good, although not exactly my bag. If you grew up going to a traditional Christian church, you’ll recognize tracks including, “Somebody Touched Me,” “The Old Rugged Cross,” “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” etc. My biggest complaint is that the tracks I recognized and wanted to be upbeat were generally slow tempo’d and/or instrumental. But for those Christian fans of the banjo - you’ll definitely find some talented “pickers” here.
