'Nuther really cool homemade gospel rarity from down south. What makes this one especially interesting is that one side consists of very crude almost home-recorded sounding piano and vocal duets, while the other is slightly more produced and features a backing band. I'm assuming this split is referenced in the "Yesterday and Today" title. Both sides have a very low-key earthy charm to them though. One of those albums that really seems to capture a few moments from a long gone time and place very candidly and beautifully.

I grew up listening to The Shaw Singers. My mom and my cousin used to take me to see them in person. To this day, I love to hear their songs. I wish I could get one of their albums/cd’s. If someone knows how I can get one, please email me. God Bless You All

The Shaw Singers are a daily part of our lives. My son Kyle has to hear them every day–along with Pastor Melvin Bufford and God’s Army. Keep singing for the Lord!!
