Album Notes
Throughout the '40s and early '50s, the Fairfield Four were among the nation's premier gospel vocal groups. Along with the Dixie Hummingbirds and the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, the Fairfield Four defined the Southern style of a cappella gospel, characterized by an impassioned lead tenor supported by vibrato-heavy backing vocals. The demands of the show-business life, combined with a shift in popular tastes, led the group to disband in the early '50s (a 1980 reunion concert sparked the current revival of the group). STANDING ON THE ROCK collects 26 recordings from the end of the group's first run, representing recording sessions from 1950, 1951, and 1953.
STANDING ON THE ROCK shows the Fairfield Four pursuing two distinct approaches to gospel vocalizing. On the 1950 and 1951 sessions, the group continues its smooth earlier "jubilee style" of singing. The 1953 sessions find the band experimenting with the more frantic, "holy roller" style then popularized by such groups as the Swan Silvertones. In either mode, the Fairfield Four represent the height of excellence in the gospel field. These recordings, like all of the group's records, accordingly occupy an important place in gospel history.
