On the Right Road Now

The Paschall Brothers SFW40176

Silken voices, intricate harmonies, and divinely inspired passion mark the quartet singing of the Paschall Brothers, and their classic Virginia Tidewater sound. Founded in 1981 in the footsteps of the renowned Golden Gate Quartet, this multi-generational family carries on the African American "roots gospel" tradition that emerged in the post-Civil War South, engaging modern audiences with their joy and exuberance. This recording is part of the Smithsonian Folkways African American Legacy Series, co-presented with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
