Please note what I'm writing here applies only to Vol 1 of "The best of the Hee Haw Gospel Quarter." I haven't heard Vol 2.

Some cretin, with the first volume, decided to add electric guitar and piano to all the cuts, and in the process of doing so, destroyed all the authenticity of what began as masterful renditions of traditional church music.

Once upon a time I owned all the HHGQ albums --seems like there were at least six of them-- on cassette, and when they either wore out or were borrowed and never returned I bought Vol one of "The Best of..." I've seldom, if ever, been so disappointed in a music purchase. Doesn't deserve any stars at all, but Amazon insists on at least one.

I gave the CD to my sister, who is not a particularly discerning listener, and to be honest, she loves it. But if you think Vol 1 of "The Best of the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet"represents what used to be played on the TV show, you'll be sadly mistaken.

This is REAL Country Gospel at its BEST. The CD is absolutely fantastic. Song after song brings back fond memories of the Hee Haw television program. The music will lift your spirit and provides comfort for the troubles of the past as well as courage for the challenges of today. The richness and quality of the music was not "mixed" out in the studio. It is just like having Buck, Roy, Grandpa Jones and Kenny sitting on your front porch singing these songs just for you. If you like Country Music, Country Gospel or are a Hee Haw fan this is a MUST HAVE CD. You won't be sorry you made the purchase...I'm not!!!!

The producers seemed to desire money rather than the genuine. What's an electric guitar doing in the background? Are the singers really the original four? There's little in the music industry that promotes the genuine. I give this CD one star.

This is certainly a lasting memorial to the two members of the quartet, who have " gone home " Grandpa and Kenny were a big part of the quartet,and both are still sadly missed by "true" gospel fans.The album is put together the way gospel fans can appreciate. AWESOME.

I have heard this CD and am wondering if it is actually the original singers, i.e. Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Grandpa Jones, and Kenny Price? I want to be certain before I buy.

I do have a hard time ordering. My daughter orders for me. then I have a hard time getting my password to work. It is just easier for my daughter to order and this, I don't like. I dont know why I have such a problem. Next time I order, I will try and do it myself. I think it is me that is the problem, because she doesn't have any problem. I will keep on trying to get it right. mj

Purchased this CD for my dad and he absolutely loved it. He grew up watching Hee Haw, so it was definitely a great gift for him.

The Hee Haw Gospel Quarted was one of the best four part harmony groups of the late 20th Century, and this is an outstanding collection of Gospel songs. It is a must for your collection.

As a child, I can remember my grandparents watching Hee Haw. I recently lost my grandfather and I decided to buy these CD's to help comfort me. I can't go one day without listening to them! They bring back memories of my childhood and the songs have helped me deal with his death. I loved them soooo much, I bought my mother and grandmother copies too! They love them as well! I hope there will be a Vol 3 & 4!

I am a diehard HEE HAW fan and I am always inserch of great music rom HEE HAW and I recamend this one to anyone who is a quartet fan. I always did like the HEE HAW Quartet.
