Stamps-Baxter
Publishing Company was relatively short lived, blossoming from the
early days of religious music on the radio and lasting to the Viet Nam War. They published in shape notes, always in four part harmony with
piano accompaniment typical to most liturgical music. Sometimes--not
often as I've seen it--with guitar chords. Always with full
versification and always with music or indexes on the inside wraps.
This is the first we've seen in a while as well as the first post WWII song book we've seen from them.
Sometimes
they published books dedicated to one or another popular trio or
quartet: the Blackwood Brothers, for example. The Oak Ridge Boys would
be with Stamps Baxter had they not been born 50 years too late.
