Highlighting their compelling performances is the great singing of Frances Reedy who ranks among the fnest country vocalists ever recorded. The musicians who, along with Frances and John formed the Stone Mountain Band, brought innovative arrangements and great vitality to these 1960's recordings, including the great Jimmy Murphy who sings and plays guitar on two tracks.

Frances and John were also skilled songwriters and their recordings infuenced many country legends like Ralph Stanley who said he learned "Oh Death" from them, and Bill Monroe, Roy Acuff, and many others covered thier songs like their all time classic, "Somebody Touched Me".
