This has to be one of the best Gaither DVDs I have come across as it begins and ends with some superb music. At the start "I Shall Not Be Moved" gets a rousing rendition from various artists including the late Jake Hess. Randy Travis does a fine and moving song called "Baptism", but I think it is the Oak Ridge Boys who really steal the limelight on their welcome return to gospel music. They do a great job on "Angels Watching Over Me" and they are then simply superb on "Loving God, Loving Each Other" where they are joined, very effectively, by the Gaither Vocal Band. The album concludes in fine manner with a very uplifting rendition of "Worthy The Lamb". Unfortunately, there is one really bad track from a lady called Chonda Pierce, who does one of the most embarrassing "comedy" monologues you are ever likely to hear! The bonus material includes a very moving tribute to the late Danny Gaither and with the exception of the one track I have mentioned, this is great stuff.

Product Description
Nothing but highlights! Country music stars Randy Travis and the Oak Ridge Boys drop by to share stories of their spiritual journeys -- as well as songs from their new gospel recordings. This gathering at the Indiana Roof produced one of the most worshipful studio celebrations in recent memory. Worship is what Reggie Smith, Jessy Dixon, Gayle West, Angela Primm, Lillie Knauls and Alicia Williamson are doing on, 'Surely Our God Is Able,' a song that’s destined for Homecoming video history. The worship continues on Babbie Mason’s 'All Rise,' and 'Worthy The Lamb' with Marsh Hall, Guy Penrod, David Phelps, Amy Rouse and Wesley Pritchard. Moving the Homecoming Friends from laughter to tears is Chonda Pierce, who tells about the time she sang her way home in her beat-up Chevette.
