PB Singing

I have spent some time listening to "Primitive Baptist Singing" at a web page that has a list of songs sung by PB groups (see here) and want to share with you some of the songs I particularly enjoy and recommend to you. Underneath some of the songs I have added some comments. Songs with an asterisk * are songs I particularly recommend.

We'll Understand It Better By And By (see here)*

I was so happy to find this song since I used to have it on cassette (from the 70s). It is a song sung by elders Paul Trautner and Lasserre Bradley Jr. along with Ron Prather, deacon at Cincinnati PB church. People do not generally know that Bradley is a good singer. He sings bass in the above song. I lost the cassette to that song they sang and was glad to find it on this web page.

I find that some of these songs do not fit well with modern Hardshell beliefs. Many of the old liners would probably not want to sing a lot of these songs, judging that they are too "missionary." Further, the special choral and quartet singing done in some of these songs would not be allowed to occur in the church service. They are okay it seems if they are performed at a church "singing school."
