  Ten classics from the ‘50s and ‘60s by 10 great artists/groups, some no longer with us.  There are no sleeve details but the age of the material is reflected in the sound quality of some of the tracks.  It certainly lives up to the title, ‘Sunday In the South’, but few tracks meet the criteria for southern gospel and country gospel is a definite misnomer; most are traditional or hymns.  So if you want an overview of camp meeting songs of 35 years age, buy a copy.  Otherwise…!  My personal favourites are “I’ll Fly Away” by Jim Reeves, “Wings Of A Dove” by Dolly Parton and Chet Atkins’ instrumental “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”.
