The title of the Roe Family Singers' latest album might suggest that the band is struggling, but when you hear a track or two from the disc you'll know that's NOT the case.
"Heaven Send Us Better Times" is the album's title. It's a collection of gospel tunes: some traditional, some Hank Williams songs, Carter Family songs and a couple of spirituals. It's something Quillen Roe says he had meant to record for quite some time.
I had the pleasure of sitting in the front "Roe" (sorry Quillan) for a performance by the Roe Family Singers live in the Radio Heartland studio.
Songs performed:
"No Depression In Heaven"
"Ready To Go Home"
"Workin' On A Building"
