This twofer contains 1985's 'Once And For Always' with Lou Reid replaced by Randy Graham and 1987's 'The News Is Out' by which time Doyle was the sole remaining member of the original band. As one would expect, the performances are faultless but these are mainly secular with only five Christian tracks. If you do not know bluegrass music, along with 'The Original Band' this album would make an excellent introduction to the genre. But with so few Christian tracks I have marked down my score accordingly. Otherwise I would have given them 10.
