Count Your Blessings: A Gospel Collection (Live Oak Records 560) is a bluegrass gospel album from West Coast acoustic performers presenting devotional material in the spare, close-harmony format that suits voices built for ensemble singing. Kathy Kallick plays guitar and sings; John Reischman plays mandolin and sings; Keith Little plays banjo and sings. Live Oak Records, the Bay Area independent label that documented Kallick's solo work alongside other West Coast acoustic performers, provided the context for this devotional project connecting three musicians whose performing identities had been shaped by the same California and Pacific Northwest acoustic scene. The program draws from the gospel tradition in arrangements stripped to the essentials of voice and acoustic instrument that the material has always demanded at its most direct.
