Kentucky Bluegrass Gospel


J.D. Jarvis & Rusty York - Rural Rhythm - Blue Grass Gospel Songs

J.D. Jarvis saw combat in WWII (including taking part in Normandy on D-Day) and won three purple hearts before returning to Clay Co. Kentucky to record somewhere in the ballpark of 45 records.

Rusty York plays all over this thing. He's from Harlan Co. and I guess ended up with some bigger success in the Rockabilly world but eventually ended up focusing on Bluegrass and Country and later formed Jewell Records run out of Cincinnati. Guessing he's behind the dobro on this - which really rounds this thing out.

Almost Home ...



There are some very nice songs on this one and Im still trying to find more.

Ernest Martin - Road Of No Return

This isnt the first album Ive posted of Martin - his Pine Tree LP is on here as well and is so good.

My friend Cassie Lopez lives in Lexington KY and when I found out a copy of this was in the University Library there I asked her if she could check it out and rip it for me - so thanks Cassie!
This record is less bluegrass then the other stuff Ive heard - and the tunes that have Martin on the Organ are particularly nice.  Living Where The Milk And Honey Flow - has been on my stereo for a week now.

Thanks for liberating this from that cold basement Cassie.
