Thoughts: I guess there are only so many gospel groups you can get for the ACL experience, because this one is also recycled.  Here is my 2014 view.  Here is the 2015 one.  They also have a website if you want to check that out. 

One album available on Spotify - 2015's Working in the Vineyard.  The picture on the cover of this album is a little deceiving, being that an electric guitar is pictured, and yet the vast majority of the instrumentation on this album sounds like it comes from the Casio I had when I was 9.  Lots of vocals though, so you'll get your money's worth in the sound department anyway.  Only two tracks have any registered listens on Spotify.  The top track is the title track, with all of 3,954 streams (up from 2,900 last year!  Killing it!).

FYI, that sounds nothing like the studio version, which is entirely made up of synth sounds and maybe a touch of guitar that is washed out under the drum track.

Here is a video from 2014's ACL, which isn't titled, but I am going to decide is called "Hold On"

Great voices, nice backing music.  Not my thing, but I can respect the fact that they are doing it well. A more recent video has been uploaded to YouTube, so here, try out "It's Alright."

Yes, it is alright.  Good call.  Get it.  Praise Be.
