Bill and Gloria Gaither have made an empire out of their homespun brand of Christian gospel. Since the 1960s, they've written hundreds of tunes, recorded dozens of albums, hosted their own television show, and found time to write books, direct musicals, and create a magazine - all devoted to contemporary Christian faith. In this 100-minute video in the "Homecoming" series, the duo team up with their largest contingent of supporting musicians to date to bring a welcoming Indiana Roof Ballroom audience a concert chock full of standards, originals, and inspirational banter. Guests for Bill and Gloria Gaither and Their Homecoming Friends: Freedom Band include Randy Travis and The Oak Ridge Boys. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

One of the legendary vocal groups in Southern gospel music, the Cathedrals decided to retire after 35 years together with a farewell tour in 1999. Their show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville (the home of the Grand Ol' Opry) proved to be a special event with a number of special guests -- among them Sandy Patti, the Statler Brothers, and the Oak Ridge Boys -- stopping by to lend their voices to the legendary quintet. The Cathedrals: A Farewell Celebration was recorded during the Nashville concert and captures the group at their best. Songs include "Farther Along," "Life Will Be Sweeter Someday," "That Day at Calvary," "O, What a Savior," "Life's Railway to Heaven," and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

- 1981
The supremacy of Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) is challenged by the equally corrupt (and far more dangerous) Boss J.W. Hickman (Larry D. Mann), who has set his sights on taking over Hazzard County. At the same time, Daisy (Catherine Bach) has fallen for a handsome hitchhiker named Earl Beckett (Phillip Brown)--little suspecting that Earl is Hickman's bomb-throwing chief henchman. This week's victims of Boss Hogg's "celebrity speed trap" are The Oak Ridge Boys, who sing "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight" Originally slated to air on February 20, 1981, this episode was ultimately bumped forward to January 9. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

To the people of Hazzard County, Granny Annie Coggins (Lurene Tuttle) is merely a sweet little old lady who has achieved fame as a rustic artist. But Granny Annie happens to have another little pastime--namely, the counterfeiting of five-dollar bills. As Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) schemes to get his mitts on Annie's beautifully rendered counterfeit plates, a professional "funny-money" purveyor named Big Jim Downey (George Murdock) schemes to put the old lady out of business--and out of this world in the bargain. Mickey Jones appears as temporary mechanic B.B. Davenport, replacing his "cousin" Cooter (Ben Jones, who had gone on strike against the show because he didn't want to shave his beard for his role). Also, The Oak Ridge Boys perform "Old Time Lovin". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
