"I bought this CD on a lark... I love rockabilly and I love gospel-- (although what is today called "Christian rock" leaves me cold to say the least!)-- so I decided to give it a try.
What I acquired from that little bit of curiosity has become one of my favorite albums! FULL GOSPEL ROCKABILLY is a Classic from beginning to end... and you know something? It stomps all the other CCM at the record store to pieces! These guys have no fear of naming the name of Jesus and telling it straight (and why would they?-- It's not like they actually expect to get airplay on your average fluffy CCM station!) They are true mavericks in that sense, and so the resulting album actually works as straight rockabilly or straight gospel! A rare feat if you ask me...
All the tracks are good, but my favorites are "Living in your grace," a cool billy ballad; "John the Baptist," a "Mystery Train" style rocker; and the final cut "Carbon Canyon Road (The True Story of the salvation of Pete Ludovico,)" a story song that has to be heard to be believed...
I LOVE this album! I hope these guys cut another. Amen, Bretheren!"
