CD/DVD Review: Quartet Night Across America
Daywind Records has put together a CD/DVD collection of four top quartets to take us back through the decades to when Southern Gospel music first started and progressing into how it sounds today. Groups featured are Legacy Five, The Blackwood Brothers, Tribute Quartet, and Brian Free & Assurance. On the DVD, Paul Heil interviews Scott Fowler, Billy Blackwood, Gary Casto, and Brian Free. Since this is a live recording, there are a couple mistakes, but I still consider this a must-have for every southern gospel collector. Songs featured are as follows:
All: “Quartet Singing’s Going On”
Scott Fowler, Gary Casto, Brian Free, Butch Owens: “Give Me That Old Time Religion.”
Riley Harrison Clark, Bill Shivers, Billy Blackwood, Matt Fouch: “Heaven’s Jubilee.”
Blackwood Brothers: “Just a Little Talk with Jesus,” “How Great Thou Art,” “Have You Talked to the Man Upstairs.”
Tribute Quartet: “This Old House.”
Blackwood Brothers and Tribute Quartet: Happy Medley (“Happy Rhythm” and “Wonderful Time Up There”)
All: “Patriotic Medley (America the Beautiful, My Country ‘Tis of Thee, God Bless America).”
Brian Free & Assurance: “In My Robe of White,” “Only God Knows,” “Long as I Got King Jesus.”
Legacy Five: “Wonderful Grace of Jesus,” “Boundless Love,” “He Made a Change,” “Hello After Goodbye.”
Tribute Quartet: “Sweeter as the Days Go By,” “Good News from Jerusalem,” “Everything I Need.”
Blackwood Brothers: “You Can Find What I Found.”
Brian Free & Assurance: “Say Amen.”
Legacy Five: “Christ is Still the King.”
All: “Looking for a City.”
