This week we hear haunting Old Regular Baptist gospel singing – from the preacher himself, without the congregation. Frank Newsome's new album, Gone Away With A Friend, was recorded in his southwest Virginia church to showcase his ancient style and repertoire which have influenced bluegrass gospel, bluegrass secular songs, and old time mountain singers for generations. Also on the program, bluegrass classics with the Johnson Mountain Boys, Jimmy Martin and James Reams & The Barnstormers, plus some wonderful old-time mountain tunes and songs from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.
