But what makes this list remarkable is the Country Faith Bluegrass album, which features brand-new tracks and classics performed by some of the biggest artists in bluegrass music. It’s actually led by none other than Parton for her unheard version of the classic hymn, “In the Sweet By and By.” Other artists who lent their voices to the album are bluegrass favorites Marty Raybon, Charlie Daniels, Ricky Skaggs, and Patty Loveless.
