DBFS sings the gospel
Lee Jones | San Jose, CA United States | 06/20/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a whole CD of the Appalachian gospel for which Dry Branch is justifiably famous. You can tell that this music never got near Nashville; it is true and unadulturated.My personal favorites are "When I Went Down In The Valley To Pray" and "If I Could Just Touch The Hem of His Garment." Both are sung a cappella and reflect the fervent (almost preaching) style of the genre. "When I Went Down..." is fundamentally the same song that Alison Krauss made famous on the "O Brother" soundtrack, but I actually prefer this version - it's more vibrant. You can *see* the preacher in the little mountain church half-talking half-singing this.If you're new to Dry Branch, (1) get this CD, (2) get their "Live at Last" CD (which includes some of band leader Ron Thomason's hysterical monologues), and most importantly (3) see the band live."
Phenomenal!

"Memories That Bless and Burn is my first exposure to Dry Branch Fire Squad and I must say that this is a phenomenal work. Having Hazel Dickens onboard to help sing Hide You in the Blood was an added bonus. MTBAB runs the entire spectrum of traditional bluegrass gospel from raucous foot-stomping tunes to sparse duets to a capella quartets. If you're a fan of bluegrass gospel music, MTBAB is a must for your collection."
