Shine Hallelujah Shine is a gospel set that Hay Holler Records issued in 1991 under the name The Bluegrass Band. The group had been started by banjoist Butch Robins in 1972 and revived in 1989, and its albums were sold through telemarketing. The gospel set came out as three cassettes and as two CDs; the first CD, HHH-CD-201, carries 21 songs.

The credited musicians are Dudley Connell (rhythm guitar), Butch Robins (banjo), Larry Stephenson (mandolin), David McLaughlin (mandolin, rhythm guitar and bass), Rob McCoury (lead guitar), Blaine Sprouse (fiddle), and Ronnie Simpkins and Bill Lux (bass). Connell, Stephenson, Robins and McLaughlin share the lead and harmony singing.

The writing credits run from Bill Monroe to Hank Williams. Monroe wrote “Lord Protect My Soul,” “Little Community Church” and “I’ll Meet You in Church Sunday Morning,” and “A Voice from on High” with Bessie Maudlin. Lester Flatt wrote “Get in Line Brother,” Flatt and Earl Scruggs “So Happy I’ll Be,” Don Reno “Tree of Life,” and Williams “House of Gold.” “Lord, Build Me a Cabin in Glory” is credited to Curtis Stewart, and “Drifting Too Far from the Shore,” “Stormy Waters,” “Precious Memories” and “On the Jericho Road” are listed as traditional.
