Faith of our Mothers? How mothers influenced the faith and music of our Bakersfield Sound stars

Happy Mothers Day!  Faith of our Fathers is one of my favorite hymns, but it's hard to find a hymn that honors our mothers, unless it's about the mother of Jesus himself. 

The deeper you dig into the Bakersfield Sound, and the deeper you dig into country music, the more you'll discover the ineffably powerful influence of gospel music.  Most stars and great artists who never become stars that are generally associated with the Bakersfield Sound played hard, but also prayed hard. 

They all had favorite hymns, and they all drew their strength from their faith.  They have their mothers to thank for that.

If you want to know exactly what I mean by that, visit

where you'll find an expanded edition of this thread, and where you can also sample, Jesus is my Rock, a newly composed gospel song I've just added to the Altar'd Hymns CD to be officially released in August.

Once again, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
