Walter Brown And Daughter Theda – Gospel Singing “Why Not Make Heaven Your Home”

While Walter Brown and Son Floyd’s 45 on Melody Records is raw country gospel, this album by Brown with his daughter is much more calm and piano based. Theda Brown became a gospel singer herself. What’s the proper sub-genre to describe this kind of gospel music, just gospel? Quite a rare album, I believe. Enjoy!

To all of my good friends and to the good people everywhere, especially to my good friends in Tennessee. I couldn’t have made these albums without the help of them for I was raised up as a poor boy. I lost my mother and father when I was nine years old. I have had it hard all of my life in this old world, but I thank God for saving my soul in 1948, and He still keeps me today, bless His name! He is my health and my strength. I just couldn’t get along without Him. “Bless His holy name!”
