Additional Details

The Deep River Plantation Singers were a very popular traditional gospel group, recording vintage material over the period of 1928-1931. The quintet's renderings of "The Station Will be Changed" and "You've Got to Meet Your God Somewhere" are classics, and are still available today on CD's.
