Whenever two quartets get together on stage, it seems as though magic happens.  I remember a few years ago when the Kingsmen and Gold City got together and recorded four KingsGold projects!  I still pull them out and listen to them pretty frequently!  In the spirit of those recordings, the Gaither Vocal Band and the Signature Sound Quartet recently got together and recorded a project.  They did a live DVD that will also be reviewed on this website.  However, the CD version is a studio recording and features some great singing.

 

"Great Day" is a wonderful a great way to start the project.  "Love Like A River" and that is followed by a singing convention classic, "Heaven's Joy Awaits."  You will enjoy that song!  "Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven" is the next song.

 

The project continues with the great Doris Akers song, "Sweet Sweet Spirit."  The guys then tackle a few patriotic songs in "America Medley."  "Oh What A Time" is an up tempo song that will be enjoyed by all who hear it.

 

"Sinners Plea" was written by Joe Roper and I love this song.  It has been sung many times in the past but this version was very, very good!  Another fun song is "Swing Down Chariot."  I always enjoy hearing a good version of this song and this version fits that bill!  "Blow The Trumpet In Zion" is the next song and "I Then Shall Live," which is a Gloria Gaither song from the early 1980's is next.

 

"Holy Highway" is a song that is not that old and I enjoyed the song very much.  The next song is a Mosie Lister classic titled "Goodbye WorldBuy It Now! Goodbye."  I love this song and hundreds of groups have sung it over the year.  This version, as you would expect, is a good one.  The guys even throw in a little bit of "Just A Little While" to add to the fun.  "Sitting At The Feet Of Jesus" is an incredible song and the harmonies are awesome on this song.  The guys finish it up with a chorus titled "Holy Is The Name."

 

As I said, two male quartets recording together is always a great musical event.  While the Gaither Vocal Band and Signature Sound are not the most traditional quartets in the industry, they deliver a solid project with a lot of great quartet classics.  The vocal abilities of these groups is undeniable and the quality of this project is excellent.  My favorites from this CD are "Great Day," "America Medley" and "Sinners Plea."  Pick up a copy today and begin enjoying these two great quartets "Together."  For more information visit www.gaithermusic.com.
