{"title":"The Back Porch Majority","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Back Porch Majority was an American folk music group founded in 1963 by Randy Sparks, who also founded the New Christy Minstrels. The ensemble's music style was characterized by intricate vocal harmonies and traditional folk instrumentation, echoing the popular folk revival sound of the mid-20th century. They served as a launching pad for several notable musicians, including Kin Vassy, who later worked with artists like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. The Back Porch Majority's most influential work is arguably their album \"Riverboat Days,\" which encapsulates their distinctive folk harmony style.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"second-hand-man-thats-the-way-its-gonna-be","title":"Second Hand Man\/ That's The Way It's Gonna Be","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed by Randy Sparks of the New Christy Minstrels, the Back Porch Majority shows its pure folk side in a live recording on the A side, which incidentally is the group's only chart single.
