This latest album in the Gaither Gospel Series live from Atlanta, Georgia, is very enjoyable from start to finish and represents very good value for money with 23 tracks and a running time of an hour. It starts with a very moving introduction which I assume is by Gloria Gaither, and apart from an appearance by Jessy Dixon, this is definitely Southern Gospel but with a distinctive country feel. There are several well known gospel artists represented including the Gaither Vocal Band, The Happy Goodmans, Jake Hess and the late J D Summer, who does a recitation of "The Farmer And The Lord", perhaps by then his singing voice had gone. There wasn't a track I disliked and several really appealed to me like the opener "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand", and "I Believe He's Coming Back". But these are only the icing on what is an exceptionally good cake.
