The album "Standing On The Rock" by the legendary American vocal ensemble The Fairfield Four, released between 1993 and 1995 (depending on the regional release of the Ace and Nashboro labels), is a historic collection of archival recordings made by the group at the peak of their form in the early 1950s.

The Fairfield Four is one of the oldest and most respected black groups in America (founded in 1921 in Nashville), having laid the foundations for the development of soul and modern gospel. This release offers a glimpse into their pristine, classic sound.

All music on the album is performed solely by vocals, without any instrumental accompaniment. The group's style is rooted in the traditions of African-American work songs, nineteenth-century religious hymns, and the so-called "Jubilee" style.
