PAUL WILLIAMS & THE VICTORY TRIO, " Just A Little Closer Home," Rebel. 12 tracks.
Paul Williams is a legend in bluegrass music.
The man who was born Paul Humphrey began his career in 1951 as a member of the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, a group that was recently inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Fame.
In 1957, Williams joined Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys and his distinctive tenor is heard on some of Martin's best-known recordings.
Then, in 1963, after a conversion experience, he left the bluegrass circuit and went to work for the U.S. Postal Service.
But in 1996, after his retirement, Williams put together the Victory Trio and began making his mark in bluegrass gospel as well as Southern gospel.
"Just A Little Closer Home" is his 10th gospel album for the Rebel label. Full review.
