WILLIS, Va. (June 10, 2016)—Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce the release of a brand new album from The Gospel Plowboys. Welcome Home is available to radio today and consumers on 6/10/16.

The Gospel Plowboys, based in Salisbury, NC, combines the talents of David Murph (mandolin), John Goodson (banjo), Michael Jenkins (guitar), David Brown (guitar, bass), Andrew Brown (bass, dobro) and Kris Miller (guitar). Between the six musicians, five are vocalists as well. While their music is what brings them to the stage, their mission is what brought them together first. As founding member, David Murph says, "Plowing the ground, planting the seed, that Christ died for you. When we play a show, our mission is to present heartfelt music with the message that Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us." And if the band's debut release for Mountain Fever Records, Welcome Home, is anything, it is certainly proof positive that their message is being delivered is a very sincere way.

Drawing songs straight from old church hymnals, to that of writers in bluegrass and gospel music, Welcome Home will surely tug on the heartstrings of every listener. The album opens with "Dearest Friend" written by G.T. Speer and moves quickly into a traditional hymn, "Red River." The band reached back for some bluegrass gospel standards such as the Bill Castle original, "The Dream," first recorded by IIIrd Tyme Out, as well as Ralph Stanley's "Daniel Prayed." The title track, written by Indiana evangelist Billy Fields, is perhaps the crown jewel of the album both in subject matter and performance, fulfilling God's promise to all that answer the gospel call:
Welcome home, I knew you’d come
Welcome home, you’re here for good
Look around, was it worth the wait
Welcome home, step through the gate

These lyrics perfectly sum up a collection of songs that support the very message The Gospel Plowboys carry wherever they go.

1. Dearest Friend
2. Red River
3. Saved By The Blood
4. Welcome Home
5. Daniel Prayed
