Like the Gang's first volume of old time hymns with their timeless harmonies which so neatly straddle the traditions of country music, shape-note singing and Southern gospel, offered here are the same kind of wistful charm that have made the Gang's '16 Country Gospel Favourites' so appealing. The cross between the country theme and the Christian theme brings out the emphasis of the words. "Keep On The Firing Line" is putting the message across that even when times get black because of your faith, stick to it instead of just quitting and stay on Jesus' side. This CD is not designed for the younger generation but devotees of their old time readings of ancient hymnody will enjoy.
