Today’s Pickin and Grinnin in the Kitchen Spot features another Wilson Brother’s recording from the old VHS Paul found a few months back.
Gospel song writer extraordinaire Albert Edward Brumley wrote “He Set Me Free” back in 1939.
I grew up singing the song in church. It’s one of those peppy numbers that makes it a favorite among children and adults.
I hope you enjoyed the song! If you’d like to have some Wilson Brother music for your own, check out the cds below: “Live at the John C. Campbell Folk School” and “Today if You Will Hear His Voice.”

I enjoy listening to your dad and his brother. I know your Pap passed away in 2016. What happened to the younger brother? I really enjoy listening to you, the twins and Paul. You all are very gifted.

September 27, 2020 at 8:11 amI can’t recall whether we sang it or I just heard it but it one I know. Mr. Brumley wrote a bunch of songs. He name appears often in the hymnals I am familiar with.

September 27, 2020 at 7:47 amAnother great Sunday Song. I remember singing this one as a kid in the 40’s. We had Sunday nite sing-a-longs in the park during the summer and this was one of the songs I remember.
