I think it’s traditional four part harmony (except in the example of the Chuck Wagon Gang) performed by males. Many of our more popular groups have gone away from this. It’s not “below the radar”. Witness the Kingdom Heir’s Statesmen tribute album. Great stuff with songs written and performed 40-50 years ago. I want more of this.

The best concert that I have been to in a while was the Dove Brothers homecoming several weeks ago. The night featured the Doves and The Dixie Melody Boys. Plenty of great traditional quartet music and each group spent plenty of time doing older style songs. To a quartet fan, this was the best ticket I had bought in a long time.

I wouldn’t call this a sub-genre. I would classify it as a style.

Great article!! The Dove Brothers are real pro’s at it. Watching those guys was like taking a trip back in time.

It’s great that groups keep the stylings of the ‘old days’ alive, but it’s equally important that new music is preformed.
For example, I love the Pine Ridge Boys’ music as much as I love Eighth Day’s.
Each of these groups reaches audiences whose musical preferences may be totally opposite, giving each Jesus in song.
That’s what counts.
