5.0 out of 5 stars Fine, heartfelt truegrass gospel, September 2, 2004

The Marshall Family "The Legendary Marshall Family, v.1" (Rebel, 2002)
The Marshall Family "The Legendary Marshall Family, v.2" (Rebel, 2004)

Two fine collections of good, old-fashioned bluegrass gospel tunes, with bright, cheerful vocal and instrumental performances and a simple, joyous set of songs. Each of these discs collects tracks drawn from several of the Marshall Family albums of the 1970s, when the group was still a working, touring truegrass band. There are a few guest appearances -- a young Ricky Skaggs joining in some sweet a capella quartet vocals, for example -- but mostly it's the family itself, presenting this music in as simple and sincere a light as possible. It's great stuff. Later, after the familt act disbanded, various members moved into the equally under-the-radar Southern Gospel scene, either as songwriters or as members of up-and-coming bands such as The Isaacs (who praise the Marshalls in the liner notes of Volume 2, and cite them as early influences). Folks of a more secular bent who still appreciate certain strains of bluegrass gospel, the kinds that have a buoyant, optimistic feel, may find these albums quite enjoyable. I liked 'em!

If you like bluegrass and gospel music, this album is for you. Although this family quit the music biz back in the 1980's, the music is as fresh, toe tapping, and heart touching as when it was first produced. My mother especially loves these new CDs. She has the old LP versions but the new CDs are of much better quality. The music is distinct, the acoustics are wonderful, and the choice of songs include many of the old fashion favorites. This family had a very distinctive sound, a little bit mountain music but also a little bit of sophistication. It is certainly a favorite.
