Everybody Will Be Happy, released in 1961 on Starday (SLP 137), is a sacred bluegrass album by Carl Story and His Rambling Mountaineers, recorded December 1960 at WCRS Radio Station in Greenwood, South Carolina. Story (vocals/guitar) leads a quartet with Bud Brewster on banjo, Willie Brewster on mandolin, and Claude Boone on bass through mid-tempo hymn standards — "Tramp on the Street," "Nearer My God to Thee," "Hear Jerusalem Moan" — sung in tight bluegrass quartet harmony. The title cut had already been a 1956 Story single. The session sat four years into Story's eighteen-year Starday run that ultimately produced more than sixty-five gospel LPs, sealing his reputation as the most consistent bluegrass gospel act on the label. The catalog date of 2005 reflects a later reissue, not the original release.
