Robin and Linda have always been known for their tight harmonies, an essential element of gospel music. This album brings together some of the many gospel songs they've performed over the years. "Is your CD collection complete?" as Robin would say. "How can it be without the Robin and Linda Williams gospel album." And I wish they'd hurry up with a sequel.

The previous review by the confused buyer notwithstanding, this is a great collection of songs. The selection of tunes is fairly eclectic (Carter Family, Dorothy Love Coates, and Townes Van Zandt to name a few) and both the vocal and instrumental performances are outstanding. A great aspect of this CD is that the tunes are not only uplifting, but great to sing along with. My kids love this CD, but don't let that make you think it's shallow or cutesy. It's not. There's just alot of great music here that happens to lend itself to family listening. Keep it up Robin and Linda (and your fine group)!

This is a great music CD. The songs are upbeat and well wriiten and, the harmony is out of this world! I have a CD of this selection in my car, in my home, and in my vaction house. I have given it for gifts, and been thanked many times over. I came to love this group from hearing it on A Prairie Home Companion. They are also part of the group put together on that radio show, called "The Hopefull Gospel Quartet".

I really love this Bluegrass Gospel album. I especially enjoy the song on it "The Touch of God's hand". The voices and music are pretty and peaceful.

I bought this because I just love the cover of "He's Right On Time" that I know by Mahalia Jackson. I was surprised to discover a new "stained glass bluegrass" group I wanted to add to my ever growing collection. The singing & musicianship & song selection are exceptional...wish I could do it half as well & bring such good news, too. I shared this with a bluegrass musician I know, & she said "He's Right On Time" expressed a tho't the Carters sang & she spent years playing their songs @ festivals in VA, so can give an expert opinion on what is great music in this genre. Hope they'll be around for a long time. I have to listen to songs over & over to "get" what I like best...the ones I wake up singing are the ones that stick.

I was looking for an album by the Good News gospel quartet, with Garrison Keillor. The amazon review recommended this album because the williams are featured on Keillor's show. These guys are okay, but it is not a gospel quartet. Very disappointing!
