Balsam Range to Feature New & Traditional Songs on "The Gospel Collection"

Balsam Range is one of today's most acclaimed bluegrass groups. Twice named IBMA Entertainer of the Year, they've built their reputation not only on stellar live performances, but on countless #1 radio singles and albums. And throughout their ascent in the genre, gospel music has been not just a staple, but an essential thread running through the quintet's entire catalog.
On each of their 9 albums - released over a little more than a decade - they have reliably featured gospel songs, making them an integral part of their sound and a reflection of their personal faith.
On The Gospel Collection, now available for pre-order, Balsam Range offers the very best of these recordings - songs that range from the traditional to the original, emerging over time to create a special collection that is both nostalgic and progressive. The Gospel Collection harkens back to familiar paths, yet also keeps pace with the times.
Included are songs familiar to the canon like "The Boat of Love," "Cryin' Holy Unto the Lord" and "I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling." But it is Balsam Range's knack for bringing fresh music to bluegrass that has propelled their careers, and their choices in recording gospel music are no exception. The result is the inclusion of "Wide River to Cross," "Rise and Shine," "Row by Row" and the awarded a capella "Stacking Up the Rocks." They even cross genres to include the Southern Gospel hit, "Wish You Were Here."
The Gospel Collection will be available December 6 from Mountain Home Music Company. Pre-order it HERE.
