I first got acquainted (may have already said this, but I do repeat myself LOL) with The Looper Trio and The Coleman Looper Family, through a preacher's radio broadcast, from a station which was once in Kingston, TN and fell in love with their sound and spirit! Brinda, do you remember Dianne (sorry if I misspelled it) Stanford Durden, of GA? Mrs. Durden was our pastor's wife, when we lived in Summerville, GA, I believe her daddy (was his name Jesse Stanford) pastored in Canton, GA. Oh and on the 45, was one side of it, Are You Ready, or was that later? I've heard that one on youtube.

The Looper Tr...I very much enjoyed your review Lee. The Looper Trio came from Overton County, TN and had a Monterey, TN mailing address. They were born and raised there. Dad (Coleman Looper) and mom moved to Anderson, IN area after marrying because there was work there and two of his older brothers. They came back to TN a few (maybe 4-5 years) later…..Their last album together (as the originals) was the Live album….Neal McCormick was from NashvIlle. They recorded several songs he wrote on later albums. I believe he may have been connected to the Grand Ole Opry and I think I remember he built a steel guitar. Anyway at least one of his instruments is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Again, I was so young at the time that I have forgotten a lot of the history. I’ll have to ask mom about it.

Kinda interesting that someone mentions that ...Lee,<br />Kinda interesting that someone mentions that song, because it isn't on the album in the post LOL! The first place I ever heard it (but I know it's not the original, at least, I don't believe it is), was an album of The Triumphants of High Point, NC, which I'm not sure I have anymore, but here's the song from Youtube.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfyNi4Vm2co<br /><br />The Inspirations, Billy Kelly, The King's Travelers, The Earls And Whitehead Gospel Singers (as you've already pointed out) and probably a bunch more, recorded it in the mid-late '60s, into the '70s, but I too, have no idea who wrote it. I have the album of The Inspirations that it's on, maybe it'll say who wrote it. I can't remember which one it was, maybe Cool Water. I know it was one of their earlier ones from around that time, back when they were probably still in high school. Enough of my rambling, sorry I couldn't help much. Keep up the great work, love and prayin' for ya!<br /><br />Romans 11:33-36 KJB<br /><br />Josh<br />Podcast: http://www.jeremiah616.sermon.net<br />Callcast: (563) 999-3967<br />Blog: http://www.brojoshowens.wordpress.com<br />Google Group: http://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/preacher-friendsA man for whom Christ diedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915707783369548661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-22741727248927043332019-09-03T17:56:25.906-04:002019-09-03T17:56:25.906-04:00I did some Googling and discovered the song is als...I did some Googling and discovered the song is also known as "I Cried My Way to Victory."

They are Life Beyond Death, The Gospel In Song, Holy Hills Of Home and I don't Want To Get Adjusted. You've also had a guest post of I Wanta See Jesus. From the later Looper group (The Loopers) you've posted Touring That City (from your collection via tape) and It's Worth It All (as another guest post from the same feller).

I'd say a reissue as well, given the quality and youthfulness of the membership/musicianship. Who was the Bass player BTW? Oh and thanks for clearing up who played the Electric and Flat-top, wondered about that for years! It Was His Love and That Old Time Religion, were done earlier by The Sunshine Girls of Bristol, TN (maybe VA), on their album entitled (I believe) Introducing The Sunshine Girls, recorded at Sun in Memphis with liner notes by (I believe) Les Beasly of The Florida Boys, who discovered them at a TV broadcast taping some time before, but all that's for another post LOL! Oh and the Charles F. Goodman of Journey, is the same as Rusty, of The Happy Goodman Family (AKA The Happy Goodmans) and The Plainsmen Quartet. Sorry for rambling, great post!

D'oh!<br /><br />The "first album" claim puzzles the heck out of me, too. I have two previous Looper LPs, both stereo. The group shot looks early, and the tracks are mono, so we have those two clues. A reissue would be my best guess, too--that, or this is early material that sat around for years before being released. Except you'd think the notes would specify that.
