Roy Acuff - Crying Holy (1959)

In the closing segment of an episode of Roy Acuff’s short-lived 1959 television series, “Open House“, Acuff leads his Smokey Mountain Boys and Girls and the cast of show regulars (including Teddy and Doyle - the Wilburn Brothers and June Webb) in the traditional spiritual, “Crying Holy“, featuring the tenor voice of Pete “Oswald“ Kirby. Longtime Smokey Mountain Boy Lonnie “Pap“ Wilson then joins Roy for a comedy bit before Howdy Forrester’s square dance fiddle chaser of “Run Boy Run“ closes the show.
