Forbes Family- A Forbes Family Treasury, Vol. 2
A Forbes Family Treasury, Volume 2 / These recordings were made back in the 1980s, when this family group from Pennsylvania was just trying to make a go of it: the 2 brothers (Homer and Jay) and 2 sisters (Lisa and Lori) were barely out of their teens at the time. Heavily influenced by the Marshall Family, the Forbes achieved a small but dedicated audience for their music, both in their native Pennsylvania and in North Carolina. On this wonderful 18-song collection (which includes 3 previously unissued songs) every track is a gem of beautiful harmonies like the a cappella "Talk About Suffering," and a truly magnificent rendition of "Blessed Assurance." After a relatively short career, which included an appearance on A Prairie Home Companion and an offer to tour Europe, the members of the group quietly retired to start families.
Tracklist:
- Gleams Of That Golden Morning
- Lord, Don't Leave Me Here
- The Old Ship Of Zion
- Lord, Stay Near
- Jesus, I'll Never Forget
- Come Unto Me
- Gloryland
- Just Over Yonder
- Softly And Tenderly
- I'm Just A Pilgrim
- I Have A Father Who Can
- Daddy, I Miss You At Home
- Things I Used To Do
- Wnen I'm Sleeping In The Grave
- Feel Like My Time Ain't Long
- Satan's Jeweled Crown
- You Never Mentioned Him To Me
- I Just Want To Thank You Lord
