Gold City Discography

 

This is a list of recordings The Gold City Quartet has made. These begin around 1981.

The original quartet was Jerry Ritchie (lead), Bob Oliver (tenor), Ken Trussell (baritone) Dallas Gilliland (bass), Larry Goddard (piano), Cary Kirk (bass guitar), Wayne Hussey (drums), & David Holloway (steel).

First Day In Heaven; Heavy Weight 1144 (1981) 

This recording is actually by the group The Christianairs. The group disbanded and several members formed Gold City along with Tim Riley. Tim Riley refused to have his picture on a record he did not sing on. So, they used a picture of the Christianairs but labeled it as Gold City.
