Forty Gospel Greats for Banjo

by Eddie Collins
When you hear the term “Gospel Banjo,” many assume we are talking about tunes you hear at every bluegrass festival-tunes in the Southern Gospel tradition. While these definitely make for good banjo fare, Eddie sought to cover new ground, of the 40 popular songs included, nearly 20 of them have not been previously arranged for banjo, plus lyrics have been placed below each melody note to give the player a sense of when to stress notes in order to bring out the melody above the fill-notes of the rolls. Each song is played on the enclosed CD. These 40 Gospel Greats for Banjo are both enjoyable and inspirational.
