And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way!’

As the water flows down the rocks in the background, the siblings' voices flow together in seamless harmonies. Many people online also had the same thoughts about the voices of Cotton Pickin Kids.

“As good as you are as musicians, nothing can match the quality of these harmonious vocals. The Lord has richly blessed you!” comments one person online after watching the music video.

“Family harmony is great. It’s even more fantastic when it’s done acapella style. The Cotton Pickin Kids knocked it out of the park!” writes another person.

The Cotton Pickin Kids grew up in Alabama singing and playing bluegrass music in their family of 13. “As the saying goes, ‘Bluegrass is the best music because it sounds the same when the power goes out.’ Each child was taught at a young age to play various instruments, whether it be the guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, or harmonica. They would often play for family and social gatherings,” reads their bio on their YouTube page. What a wonderful way to enjoy using their talents – as a family!
