“The project “Gods Love is So Divine” has an interesting background. PRB (Po’ Ramblin’ Boys) approached me here at Sound Biscuit after releasing their first album “Back to the Mountains” in 2016 on Random Records, wanting to record a gospel album. All the songs selected on the album were carefully chosen with special meaning to the band. Random Records did not have a gospel genre on their label so PRB was looking outside the label to record this special project. Perfect match for us here at Sound Biscuit as a label project. As fate would have it, just as the album was to be released, PRB signed a label deal with Rounder Records, a management deal with Rainmaker Music Management and a signing with Crossover Touring.”

“I felt this wasn’t a good time to promote the gospel album and didn’t want to take any of the momentum away from the PRB partnership with Rounder, Rainmaker and Crossover. In hindsight it was a very good decision as PRB went on to be nominated for a Grammy with the “Toil, Tears and Trouble” album on the Rounder label. Their next project released on the Smithsonian Folkways label, “Never Slow Down” is currently showcasing a number of successful singles making the charts. I have always thought the “Gods Love is So Divine” album was a hidden gem of PRB music. After consulting with PRB and deciding to officially share this amazing gospel album with the public, I reconnected with Paul Blakemore for the remastering of the gospel project. Paul had provided Mastering for “Toil, Tears and Trouble” as well as “Never Slow Down” and a single release of “East Bound and Down.”
I have been fortunate and proud to have recorded/engineered and co-produced all three of these albums as well as the chart topping single “East Bound and Down” with PRB.”- Dave Maggard/Sound Biscuit
