REVIEWS
The Hemphills – “Sing the Glory Down” (1974)
1974 saw the Hemphills release 2 studio albums. The title song was the Hemphills their first huge hit with Heartwarming, and thus began a long string of hits for the group.
The Hemphills – “Ready to Leave” (1974)
1974 was the start of really big things for the Hemphills, as their music really began gaining some major traction. “Ready to Leave” was a tremendous album for the group and was only the beginning of great thing!
The Hemphills – “In Action” (1973)
The Hemphills’ only release for 1973, was this live gem, that was originally released independently before being picked up by Heartwarming Records. It’s a wonderfully raw and genuine live album, showcasing the Hemphills “In Action”!
The Hemphills – “Sweet Zion’s Song” (1972)
For their last album on Canaan, the Hemphills released “Sweet Zion’s Song” during the second half of 1972. A mix of newly penned Hemphill tunes along with popular cover tunes of the day, it was a unique mix of songs, all done in typical Hemphill style!

With some personnel changes happening in the Kingsmen, “The Judgement” was a bit of a transitional recording for the Kingsmen, yielding one of their most unique and most remembered songs in their entire repertoire! Check out my review, and let me know your thoughts!
The Kingsmen – “Anchors Aweigh” (1988)
After 3 live albums in a row, the Kingsmen were back into the studio recording a new stellar studio album, “Anchors Aweigh”. Though recorded in the studio, it still embodied that classic, exciting Kingsmen sound. Check it out…
