Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Alshire Singers were four siblings from Pennsylvania who began singing together during the Great Depression. Led by tenor Allan Alshire, they performed for their community and gradually built a reputation through radio and television appearances. In 1958, they released an album called "An American Trilogy," which featured their version of Mickey Newbury's ballad of the same name.
Their recordings often focused on patriotic material, including "America: The Beautiful" and "God Bless America." The group's lineup included Allan, Edna, Edna Mae, and Donald Alshire, sometimes joined by musicians like guitarist Bob Doyle. In 1994, they received the National Medal of Arts.
