"Lightnin' Charlie is a veritable icon here in the Mountain Empire. Everyone who has the opportunity to see and hear Lightnin' perform is astounded by his talent and showmanship - this man really knows how to entertain a crowd! And when this amazing husband and wife team [Lightnin' Charlie and Beth] raise their voices in harmony to praise the Lord in song, the sound they produce is nothing short of perfection. Charlie can pick and sing everything from Country to Rock 'n' Roll to the Blues, and he does it as well as anyone on the planet. Lightnin' Charlie is one of the most entertaining, yet down-to-earth guys around, and if you have never seen him in concert, you're missing out on something really special!"
