It was okay. I think it would be better if they would just sing the song without that one singer continuously talking out the words.

I believe that is the way it is done in Don Rigsby's church as well as Lou's...primitive baptist. They do most of their hymns that way.

we are Primitive Baptist also and our church was constituted in 1770. We were taught this style of singing and also that there were churches that could not afford song books. When we have annual meetings or communion meetings when we have church all weekend sometimes we sing this way and it reminds us of our Primitive Baptist ancestors. Edgar Loudermilks' father used to be the pastor at our church, Old Mill primitive Baptist church in Sutherlin VA.

That is the Old Regular Baptist version of singing. Someone mentioned that there wasn't many songbooks in the old days so you had a song leader, true. I'm a cousin to Don, throw a rock and ole most hit our childhood houses. We grew up listening to this as kids. I might add this one of the perks about growing up in Eastern KY that the "media" don't understand. We're just a bunch of funny talkn, dumb, backward hillbillies. Let them believe it. God, family, music.

My dad is an Old Regular Baptist minister in Ohio. The Old Regular Baptist's don't allow instruments in the church. This actually brought a tear to my eyes and choked me up a little. As with any gospel song, if it is blessed by the spirit, it is a beautiful thing to hear, if not, it is just another song. This song was surely blessed when it was recorded! Thanks for posting it!

The did it that way in the old days because the members of the church either didn't have a hymnal or couldn't read. so, one person did this in front of the rest of the church so everyone else would know the words.
