The Fairfield Four - Standing in the Safety Zone

Founded in Nashville in the 1940s as a young, black gospel group, The Fairfield Four toured extensively and performed live on the radio. With the dropping-off of live radio programs in 1950, several group members went on to form the Skylarks, and then finally disbanded. Through the efforts of Doug Seroff, specialist in black gospel music, the group reunited in a moving performance in Birmingham, AL in 1980. Since then the National Endowment for the Arts named them National Heritage Fellows. 11 gospel songs: "Tree of Level," "My God Called Me this Morning," "Children Go Where I Send Thee," "Born Again," "Keep Me Near the Cross," "Roll Jordan Roll," the title tune, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Last Month of the Year," "How I Got Over" and "Dig a Little Deeper." This is rich, authentic stuff, and a gift to US from an incredible, deeply spiritual group of men.
