Hey, thanks Crossrhythms for adding this wonderful album from 1980 to the list. I have the vinyl lp.. never seen it on cd yet. Have you heard the sweet voice of this gospel songbird; simple beauty!! "Shadow of a Tree" is a nice , soft- pop gospel song; one of my top lp favorites. Christine wrote the song, and what a wonderful song! The album has that nice,soft, easy sound of songs to hear; similar in style to the Peterson Trio from early 70's. I just luv "What Will I Hear My Master Say" and "Part the Waters":the background voices have that classic gospel aire. Incidentally, Christine and Don Shelton do all the background vocals for the songs;simply amazing! Every song on this album is noteworthy!! These are the songs that any church would allow to be heard within their walls. The first song on side 1 "JESUS is my Sunshine" seems to be just the right song to start off the album. There are also 12 songs total, and not the usual 5 per side; many of the songs are about 3 minutes in length or shorter. I tend to favor the songs on side 2 more. Does anyone know how Christine and Don Wyrtzen are related?? This album is a true example of original classic gospel music, I would luv to find it on cd!
GOD Bless! -Don
