The family band launched its career at Radio WRJW Picayune, Mississippi. From 1950 to 1956 the Sullivans were based in Jackson, Alabama, but they were soon touring, finding as much acceptance on the bluegrass and Gospel music circuits as they grew to favor a traditional sound. Their first recordings were for the Revival label and the Loyal Records label, owned by fellow evangelist, revivalist and broadcast musician Walter Bailes. They stayed with Bailes between 1959 and the early 1970s. Walking My Lord Up Calvary’s Hill and Old Brush Arbor were among their most popular songs. (https://bluegrasstoday.com/jerry-sullivan-passes/)
