Few gospel quartets could harmonize as handsomely or uplift spirits better than the Pilgrim Travelers. Of all the great artists that recorded for Specialty Records, the Texas-bred, Los Angeles-based group cut more sides than any other--gospel or pop. A companion to the previously issued The Best of the Pilgrim Travelers (SPCD-7204-2) and Walking Rhythm (SPCD-7030-2), this compact disc documents them at the peak of their popularity, between 1951 and ’56, making a smooth transition from a cappella singing to the use of instrumental accompaniments. Included are 13 never-before-released selections, all prime Pilgrim Travelers performances.
