The name of this vintage gospel group seems like an attempt to hoard vowels, but the Dixieaires may have actually been created to keep lawyers happy, not members of the Boggle club. At one point in the late '40s the group was deep in interconnecting contractual disputes with a pack of labels including Exclusive, hardly an appropriate name considering the circumstances, Sittin' in With, Davis and Continental. Despite the overwhelming demand such a state of affairs suggests, historical material concerning the Dixieaires indicates the bandmembers went their own way in 1950 because nobody was able to support their families on the income the group was generating. This was despite several hit records including the provocative "Joe Louis Is a Fightin' Man" and "Traveling All Alone."

love the harmonies & syncopation... and the spirit of their delivery. If they used religion as a vehicle of expression, well, so be it! Bless their hearts!!! ^..^

This should be called The Best RELIGIOUS Songs. (of a specific religion). "I'm Not Like I Used To Be" for example, is easily of their best, yet not pushing a religion.
