Fine, heartfelt, mature work

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A beautiful, stripped-down acoustic set, with Louvins enthusiast Charles Whitstein providing harmony vocals and playing mandolin. Although they cover some secular Louvins heartsongs such as "When I Stop Dreaming" and "My Baby's Gone," as well as the old Delmore Brothers hit, "Freight Train Boogie," the bulk of this album is devoted to gospel material, all of it quite nice and drenched in an old-time traditional vibe. Whitstein is a fine partner for Charlie, calm, understanted and every bit as soulful and sincere. A highly recommended record."
