Essential Blackwood Brothers Country,
By Ann Smith (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Grand Old Gospel (Audio CD)
This album is the best of 60s-style country. Porter is a down-home singer with a warm, everyman style, and The Blackwood Brothers add the right dose of gospel and power singing. The classic country instruments, especially Porter's own steel guitarist, give this album a delightful twist. For a modern continuation of this classic, southern gospel sound, don't miss The Blackwood Brothers joining Engelbert Humperdinck in the CD, "Always Hear The Harmony." The Humperdinck-Blackwood Bros. feature has a lot of the same emotional quality asthis CD and is destined for "top in its field" just like this Porter-Blackwood Bros. team-up. 1st tenor great Bill Shaw, probably the greatest-ever gospel tenor, sings on both, and his high voice is unmistakable.

Not like the "old time" Blackwood Brothers,

Sound is quite different from Blackwood Brothers albums of 25 years ago. I was rather disappointed.

Porter with a backup vocal band,
By Gussack (Bethel, Alaska) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Grand Old Gospel (Audio CD)
If you enjoy Porter Wagoner get this CD. The Blackwoods are only Porter's backup vocal band; not an equal partner. Porter has the ability to overpower cheerful Southern Gospel with mournful country tunes.
'Thirty Pieces of Silver would have been better served with another tune. Throughout the song I thought of my grade school days singing 'On Top of Old Smokey'. Perhaps that tune was OK for the time it was recorded. [....] states that More Grand Old Gospel was awarded the Grammy Best Gospel Performance in 1967. The musicians were James Blackwood Sr., Cecil Blackwood, Bill Shaw, John Hall, Dave Weston - pianist. |
