I agree with the above writer, that this cd is definitely ccm history. I was kind'a disppointed that the above writer's summary on Andrae was a little on the short side. This is the cd to have! Full of the early sound of ccm. Soo many artists in the ccm field have recorded his songs to date. The cd starter song is one of my favorites, "The Blood Will Never Lose it's
Power"; Clay Crosse did a superb cover of this song in the late 90's. As a young believer, I recall singing "I'm Gonna Keep on Singing" (I believe Bill Gaither Trio covered this song). "My Tribute (to GOD be the Glory) was a theme song for a gospel tv station; I just luv this song immensely! How often has "Soon and Very Soon" been sung, especially in church congregations! In the mid to late 70's, recording artist Bryan Rainbow recorded an lp entitled, "I Don't Know Why JESUS Loved Me"; after Andrae's song: Bryan also recorded a version of the late Larry Norman's popular song, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready. The trio of today's ccm, DC Talk also recorded a great cover of the song in the mid to late 90's. Hats off to this wonderful singer/songwriter/musician who has blessed us with soo many wonderful songs that are still carried upon the wings of believers today! GOD Bless! -Don
