Active mainly from the 1940s to the 1960s, they were known for their close harmonies, tight vocal blending, and traditional mountain music influences. Their songs featured themes of faith, morality, and personal struggles, often blending gospel with country, and they significantly impacted the development of bluegrass, country, and Americana music.
