Reviews
Highly recommended for fans of the Sullivan Family (in all configurations through the years); for believers who love pure, unadulterated, Holy Spirit-fueled and -inspired gospel music and the stories that go with it; and for readers with an academic curiosity about a fascinating, very real world that lies off the beaten path of main denominations and interstate highways.--Nancy Cardwell, executive director of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Foundation Showing the coexistence of traditional values and modern musical practices--downhome millennial religion promoted in dynamic bluegrass style--Bernhardt has paid tribute to a way of life and musical culture that are unknown to most of us. What a pleasure to have been invited to welcome the publication of a work that adds a significant element to America's multidimensional religious musical heritage.--From the foreword by Bill C. Malone, author of Country Music USA
