Subject: Old-timey gospel - recommendations?
Hey gang -

I'm looking for a good collection or two of old-timey gospel tunes. Ideally, I'd like to find a disk/box set that has good versions of standards like Rock of Ages, Rank Strangers, Hallelujah I'm Ready to Go, etc. Does such a collection exist commercially?

As a side note, I found this interesting list of gospel favorites. Does anyone have other albums/artists that they would recommend? Who is considered "the gold standard" in old timey gospel - the Stanley Brothers? The Louvin Brothers?

Thanks!
