"The rawest, DIY gospel ever resurrected. The West Side of Chicago was
just an annex of the deep rural South for Gene Autry Cash and his flock
of recent Old Dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned
sounds indelibly to plastic. His Jade label absorbed those God-fearing
artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups
sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and
western and deep soul. Glinting authenticity shines from every track
like a diamond in the unpolished rough - each group completely convinced
that salvation comes through song."
