Grandpa Jones Remembers the Brown's Ferry Four pays tribute to one of country and gospel music's finest vocal quartets of the 1940s, the group that featured Jones himself alongside Merle Travis, the Delmore Brothers, and Louis Marshall Jones in various configurations. The Brown's Ferry Four recorded a remarkable body of gospel material for King Records beginning in 1946, and this 1966 album allowed Jones to revisit that repertoire with the warmth of recollection. Grandpa Jones was among the most beloved figures in country entertainment, a longtime fixture on the Grand Ole Opry whose banjo playing and comic persona belied his genuine musicianship. The album serves as an important document of the close-harmony gospel quartet tradition that informed so much early bluegrass singing.
