Randy Simpson is an artist based in Carlisle, PA and someone that I have known for years.  His latest project is a collection of older hymns and Southern Gospel songs that you will enjoy.

 

The project begins with "Farther Along."  I love the message of that great, old song and Randy delivers perfectly.  "The Old Rugged Cross" is a standard in the hymn books and Randy does a fine job singing it.  "Master Of The Sea" is a wonderful song written by Squire Parsons.  You will enjoy and be blessed by Randy's version.

 

The Gaither's have written hundreds of great songs and Randy chose one of the best when he recorded "Because He Lives."  "I'll Fly Away" is another standard and I believe this version of Randy's is as good as I have ever heard.  "Amazing Grace" is the standard by which all others are measured and I love this version of this song.  One of my mom's favorite songs was "When The Roses Never Fade" and the song brings back a lot of memories for me.

 

"The Lighthouse" is another standard in Southern Gospel Music and Randy does a good job on this Buy Now BannerRonnie Hinson classic.  "I'll Not Turn Back" is a song that might not be as easily recognized as others on the project but it's a fantastic up beat song that you will enjoy.  "What A Day That Will Be" is the final song on the project and Randy sings it with class.

 

Randy Simpson is a talented soloist that many people enjoy.  This project showcases Randy's abilities to sing the older songs and gives the listener a treat as Randy sings one favorite after another.  Favorites are difficult to pick from a project like this one but I will go with "What A Day That Will Be," "Where The Roses Never Fade" and "I'll Fly Away."  If you like the older songs sung by a talented singer in a traditional style, this is the project for you!  For more information visit Randy's website at www.randysimpson.org.
