Forbes Family reissues – iTunes exclusive

The Forbes FamilyRebel Records has reissued the first two projects that The Forbes Family recorded for them in the mid 1980s, both as download-only releases via the iTunes Music Store.

The two projects are Gleams Of That Golden Morning, and I’m Just A Pilgrim, which feature the four part harmony of Lori, Lisa, Homer and Jay Forbes in their trademark bluegrass Gospel style.

You can hear audio samples from either project, or purchase them for download if you have iTunes software installed on your computer.

Tom Garber at Rebel tells us that they have several more download-only reissues in the works, including two more classic Ralph Stanley albums in November.
