The original Shepherds drifted away from each other after touring and selling their debut records in Memphis and throughout the Bible belt for over a decade. Pop with his sons, Oliver Jr. and Joey Edwards in 1980 recorded” I Know Who Jesus Is” and “God Is” in 1981.
In 1988 they put their first project out on TyScot Records a national label, entitled “Hiding Place”. They were nominated in several categories at the GMWA for New Traditional Artist, Group of the year and Best Traditional Album.
