Primitive Quartet- I'm Bound To Travel On & You'll Never Know

The Primitive Quartet sings "I'm Bound To Travel On" & "You'll Never Know" from their album "Fallen Leaves." Both of these songs are rare for the Primitives because they both use a piano, which is seldom ever been the case for this well known Bluegrass Gospel Quartet.
These men have not only had a lot of nice music and records, but they are fine Christian Gentlemen as well and one of my very favorite gospel groups.
Hope You Enjoy!

Really enjoyed hearing this, brought back a lot of old memories. I was the bass player for them from 1977 to 1984 and was actually singing on both of these songs. Great bunch of guys! By the way... Eldridge Fox, former owner of the Kingsmen was playing the piano on the song - I'm Bound to Travel On. Most people don't know that, and he was always a great supporter of the Primitives.

God Bless to All!

That is neat to know. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing, they sound like the inspirations with the piano playing.

[insman1976]

They really do. Of course, the two groups have had a long standing relationship and have done a lot of singings together over the years. In fact, I think Martin Cook of the Inspirations may have been the producer on this album. He did produce a number of their albums. And, Dale Jones and Roger Fortner, both long time Inspirations muscicians, played on this album.

I have this on a record around here somewhere. I like the Primitives older recordings best for some reason. Another rather rare instrument featured in their earliest recordings is the harpsichord. The same thing Lurch played on The Addams Family lol.

[insman1976]

I like the harpsichord, but you don't hear it in Gospel music often. And it is certainly not a traditional Bluegrass instrument.

I love listening to The Primitve Quartet. They are such a blessing.

Have been a big fan of The Primitive Quartet since I was a little girl back in the 1980's . Me, mom and grandma use to go and see them in concert . I got saved when I was 9 1/2 , it's been awhile since I saw them in concert . Love to listen to them . Keep up the good work

and God Bless You All .

Something here that money can't buy.

I have heard Doyle Lawson sing with the piano frequently, but, yeah, this is an unusual instrument for the Primitive Quartet. I like it, though. Of course, I like most of the Primitive Quartet songs.
