Climbing Up on the Rough Side by The Hopeful Gospel Quartet

Regular price $15.00 $15.00 Sale

The long-awaited second recording by the Hopeful Gospel Quartet––Robin and Linda Williams, Kate MacKenzie, and Garrison Keillor––is old-time gospel singing at its best. Recorded live during broadcasts of Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, it features instrumentals by Butch Thompson, Chet Atkins, and others.

The Hopeful Gospel Quartet is one of my favorite guest performers on A Prairie Home Companion. . .they have had line-up changes through the years and the new Archive Fun feature traces the history of the quartet using the on-line archive. Enjoy! (includes a song from the movie soundtrack). Read the history of the quartet >>>
