The Gospel Plowboys' Brethren We Have Met to Worship, self-released in 2013, is the North Carolina-based bluegrass gospel sextet's debut album. The founding lineup—including David Murph on mandolin, John Goodson on banjo, David Brown and Kris Miller on guitars, and additional members—presents a program of devotional bluegrass gospel rooted in the 19th-century hymn tradition, including the 1819 George Atkins title hymn. Note: catalog personnel also lists Chris Walls and John Miller; neither has been confirmed as a credited founding member, and both entries may reflect data errors. The catalog number "KJV 1611" references the King James Bible's first publication year—used here as a theological statement rather than a commercial catalog code—setting the tone for the band's explicitly devotional identity.
