The Oak Ridge Boys - Old Fashioned, Down Home, Hand Clappin', Foot Stompin', Southern Style, Gospel Quartet Music (1976) [Hi-Res]

American vocal quartet The Oak Ridge Boys, whose journey stretched from small-church gospel singing to the stage of the Las Vegas Hilton, dedicate this album to their gospel roots. The group grew out of the Southern tradition of communal all-day singing and dinner on the ground — a practice nearly vanished by the early 1980s but formative for many singers and musicians. To capture an authentic atmosphere, the band held a family-style picnic at a small country church, and the recording sessions themselves regularly turned into live gospel jam sessions. While the arrangements reflect a contemporary sound for the era, the songs trace the group's own beginnings and the different phases of gospel music that shaped them. The record stands as a tribute — to the longtime fans who supported the Oaks through the years and to the newer generation helping keep that spark alive.
