Blackwood Brothers Quartet – On Tour (Full Album)


Playing Next: Malum - Legion (Full Album)
Random Page  /  Random Album


This page is dedicated to mother, Annie Mae (Petersen) Pflughaupt. Mom was a music lover, church pianist and vocalist, and loved the gospel quartets. The Blackwood Brothers were her hands-down favorite. This album in particular, she played the socks off it. I remember as a young lad in elementary school years hearing it all the time, with Mom singing along as she did her housework. Pianist Wally Varner was a big influence on her piano playing style.



c. 1961 RCA Victor Records.
