J. D. Sumner has a deep bass voice which is used both as an excellent musical voice and as an audience hook - playing with his low end range. Stamps is a major name in training Southern Gospel Male Quartets and printing music for them. This collection includes the full range from memorable performances to merely competent i.e. other quartets have recorded more memorable versions. However, the collection is a very important addition to the available recordings illustrating the development of the Southern White Gospel style.

Vol 1. contains I've got to walk that lonesome road; Roll on Jordan; Smooth sailing; I just steal away and pray; What kind of a church; The farmer and the Lord; The rainbow of love; At Calvary; The Sweetest words He ever said; I'm gonna serve the Lord today; You gotta pay as you can; If you know the Lord; How great Thou are. The Farmer and the Lord, I Just Steal Away and Pray and The Sweetest Words He Ever Said are the most memorable.

Vol 2. contains Give the world a smil; I'll have a new song; My dearest friend; Victory Road; I believe; His love; The walls of Jericho; Lord give us vitory; The old country church; The shadow of His love; Swing low, sweet chariot; Peace in the Valley. Victory Road and The Walls of Jericho are the most memorable. If you aren't familiar with the Blackwood Brothers' version of The Old Country Church beside which this rendition pales, you will find this an excellent cut.

If you love J.D. like I do you must have this one. I really enjoy listening to J.D.'s deep voice. There is no way I could choose my favorite song, there are just too many and I loved them all.
