Not since Larry went out on his own in 2005, when brother John decided to retire from the music, has he released
an all gospel CD. This one has became one of his favorites. This selection of sacred songs are mostly originals with
a couple of traditional ones in the mix. Rafe Waters as always doing a fantastic job on the old doghouse bass, ' I'm
Never Alone' is a personal favorite of his. And Alex Leach with the lead guitar and vocals does a great job. This is
the band's first recording that includes Ryan Gillis on rhythm guitar and lead break on the title track 'Ringing Of The
Hammer' & Miss Ella Naiman from California on the fiddle . Of course there is always that over-drive gear in the
banjo playing of Larry as you will find in 'Train Ride To Gloryland'.
