Balsam Range's "The Gospel Collection" is Here

Acclaimed bluegrass group Balsam Range has reliably featured gospel songs on each of their nine albums, making them an integral part of the band's sound and a reflection of the members' personal faith. Now, they've released The Gospel Collection, an album that features the very best of those recordings released in just over a decade.
Twice named IBMA Entertainer of the Year, Balsam Range has built their reputation not only on stellar live performances, but on countless #1 radio singles and albums. And throughout their ascent in the genre, gospel music has been not just a staple, but an essential thread running through the quintet's entire catalog.
The Gospel Collection includes songs that range from the traditional to the original, emerging over time to create a special collection that is both nostalgic and progressive. This album harkens back to familiar paths, yet also keeps pace with the times.
Included are songs familiar to the canon like "The Boat of Love," "Cryin' Holy Unto the Lord" and "I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling." But it is Balsam Range's knack for bringing fresh music to bluegrass that has propelled their careers, and their choices in recording gospel music are no exception. The result is the inclusion of "Wide River to Cross," "Rise and Shine," "Row by Row" and the awarded a capella "Stacking Up the Rocks." They even cross genres to include the Southern Gospel hit, "Wish You Were Here."
