Press Reviews "Hey Earl, Many thanks for sending us a copy of your fine CD -- where you and the boys definitely "make a joyful noise". "Back To the Cross" features some fine straight-ahead, unabashedly traditional gospel music sung by a group that has an obvious understanding of and passion for what they're singing about. I especially enjoyed "Mr. Jesus", "Bloodstains On the Cross", "I'm Going Home" and the title track. Thanks again for the fine music -- I'll do my best to spread the word -- and keep up the excellent music and ministry." Dave Higgs, "Bluegrass Breakdown", WPLN 90.3 FM Nashville, TN"From the title song "Back To The Cross" to the old traditional song "I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap" to the harmony on the acapella "I'm Going Home" you can feel the spirit as "A String And A Prayer" sings from the heart. These men are singing for the Glory of God! Lend a listen, you'll be glad you did! If you're ever around the Jamestown, TN area on Saturday nights, you're just likely to hear "A String and a Prayer"." John Mullinix, Host of "Bluegrass Saturday Night", WDEB Radio AM 1500-FM 103.9 Jamestown, TN
