“Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” is actually an old Christian hymn that dates back to 1907. It was written by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song has lapsed into the public domain, and has been covered by everyone from Willy Nelson to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It’s also a mainstay in many bluegrass circles though, and appear...
This beautiful song by Blue Highway features pure vocals and harmonies, and no instruments whatsoever. This acapella approach makes it a very unique recording in the bluegrass space, and clearly shows it’s gospel influence. The lyrics are beautiful and have many prominent gospel themes:
Dailey and Vincent are two of the most talented singers on the modern bluegrass and country scene. Both have very strong gospel influences that shine through in their style and the songs they choose to feature on their albums. “By The Mark” is one of my favorite songs they’ve done. The song is a gospel classic originally made famous by Gillian Welc...
Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver have produced some of the best modern bluegrass gospel music out there. “I Have Found the Way” is one of my favorites. It features the killer fiddle and banjo work of bluegrass music, while working in the harmonies and lyrics that gospel is famous for:
Here’s another Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver classic, “Happy On My Way.” More great, uplifting gospel lyrics on this one:

He truly seems to have done it all. “Hallelujah / I’m Ready to Go” represents his skill in traditional bluegrass and gospel singing:

Much of his country music has a Christian and Gospel influence (like “Go Rest High on that Mountain”), and the bluegrass music he plays is no different. Here’s Vince Gill playing “Crying Holy ...
Bill Monroe is considered by many to be the father of bluegrass music. Most of his early work and albums featured many gospel songs. One of the best is “River of Death.” Bill Monroe went on to influence many of the best bluegrass musicians to later emerge, such as Tony Rice, who later went on to release an entire album of Bill Monroe covers. Here’s...
We’ve now mentioned both Tony Rice and Ricky Skaggs in this post. These two men are two of the biggest powerhouses in bluegrass music, and they actually teamed up to produce an album together, known simply as “Skaggs and Rice.” “Where the Soul of Man Never Dies” is one of the best songs from that album. Here’s a live performance:
