Rusty Goodman - A Small Lonely Hill - Happy Goodmans (1975)

One of Rusty's most moving songs from 1975. Recorded live in Little Rock at a Battle Of The Songs, this version has all the pathos these great lyrics deserve. Safely stored away for 33 years it is now yours to enjoy and be blessed by anew!

As I recall, the studio cut of this song first appeared on the 'Legendary' album- the one right before "99 &44/100 % Pure Gospel". Both were tracked (the band parts recorded) in Nashville, using A-team country session players at (probably) Woodland Studio, where Neil Young cut 'Harvest'.

Vocals were added later, at the Goodman's own studio in Madisonville at their leisure.

Released on Word Records (I think?), certainly out-of-print (shame).

Thank you soooo much for this song! I have loved it since I was just a little girl-

This IS one of Rustys' great songs that he sang. BUT he did not write the song. The Goodmans' guitar player, Dwayne Friend, is the one who wrote the song. I recorded the song many years ago and Dwayne got a hold of me and we had the honor of having lunch with him n Springfield, MO. He is also the one who wrote the song of the year in 1972 "The Night Before Easter."

Thanks for taking your tape recorder that night!!! I just cannot believe that no one has re-recorded this song! I have not heard it in years! What a blessing!!!

Thank you so much for posting this song. This is the first time I have ever heard it but it won't be the last, thanks to you. Do you know if it can be found on a cd? If so please write to me at honeygators@yahoo.com and put Rusty Goodman in the subject line.  Thank you.

Far and away the most beautiful song I've ever heard and Rusty was by far the most gifted writer of Gospel songs!

Thank you so much for adding this to my page ...I had planned to record and do this song and I knew you had it so I am thankful you added it so people can play it . It is one true classic from Brother Rusty . The Goodman were on the very first Paul Heil show back in 1980 I heard that 30 year special today Paul replayed the interview with Howard...I do so miss The Goodmans than God for every recording .

Praise God !, I am glad you took your recorder. Rusty Goodman one of the all time great songwriters and singers. His family was sold out for the Lord.
