Country Gospel from this veteran recording artist who grew up in the Ozark Mountains singing in old country churches and now takes you back to the real sound of Gospel that’s recorded in a historic 150 year old Ozark Church.

Of all the albums that Stan Hitchcock has recorded in his 43 years as an entertainer, this is his favorite and one that has a special place in his heart.

It features the traditional, old wooden church sound that he grew up with and that carry so many memories of a young man growing up. On the last few selections of this cd Ronnie Reno plays guitar with Stan and sings tenor harmony. “Softly and Tenderly from the Old Country Church” is a collection of some of Stan’s favorite songs. Parts of the cd were recorded in an 150 year old church in the Ozark Mountains and include some stories of where the songs came from in Stan’s life.

Stan started playing and singing for audiences when he was 12 years old, first at churches in the Ozark Mountains where he was raised, and then on Radio Station KWTO in Springfield, Missouri.

He starred in his own nationwide television show, “The Stan Hitchcock Show”. from 1964 to 1972 and then went on to head up the team that started Country Music Television (CMT) and ran that network from 1984 to 1991.
