It's hard
to say how many projects I have heard by
the Anchormen over the years. I
have enjoyed the singing of this group
for many, many years and I have befriended
many of the various group members over
the years as I have probably seen this
group live as much if not more than any
other group. I always love a new
project from the Anchormen because it
means good, quality male quartet
singing! This project delivered
just that!
A Bill and
Gloria Gaither song is always a great way to
start a project and the Anchormen do a
fine job on "I'll Meet You On The
Mountain." One of my favorite
writers who may not be known by everyone
reading this is Patti Hawkins.
Patti wrote "Harmony With Him" and the
guys do a great job on this song that
reminds us that we need to be in harmony
with Christ. "Never Weak On My
Knees" is a great reminder that as we
"fight" in God's Army, we are never weak
if we are on our knees in prayer to Him. The next
song is "For The Life Of Me"
and it is a great play
on words. It initially speaks of
how "for the life of me" we can't imagine
why God would give His life for us!
An expression I am sure that we have all
used. However, the chorus reminds
us that God did it for the life of us!
"Take 'Em
To The Lord" is a wonderful reminder
that we can take all of our burdens to
the Lord in prayer! "Come See Me"
is another Gaither song that took me a
bit to remember. The song is a
great one though and you will enjoy and
be blessed by it. "Walkin' In The
Favor Of God" is a great up tempo song
and it pretty much expresses our wish as
Christians. The next song slows it
down and it reminds us about the
importance of faith. "Walk By
Faith" reminds us that we should always
follow God's leading as He will guide us
all the way and He always knows best.
"Walk And
Talk With Jesus" features some great
bass singing and some good quartet
harmonies on the chorus. It's an
upbeat, quartet number that you will
enjoy. "Come On Out Of The
Wilderness" is a Savanna Foust song that
sounds familiar but I am not sure if I
have heard it before or not!
Either way, the song is great and
encourages everyone to come on out of
the wilderness! "Reach Out To
Jesus" slows down the tempo a lot.
This is not the great, old song that
many remember but this song is a great
one. Written by Glen Bates and
Marty Funderburk, this song reminds us
that God is reaching out to us, all we
need to do is reach out to Him.
"The News Is Out" is the final song on
the project and this upbeat song is a
perfect way to end this incredible
project.
As I said,
I have followed the Anchormen for a long
time. This project, like many
before it, is a high quality project.
I enjoyed every song and every song was
performed in that classic, male quartet
style. The production from Wesley
Pritchard is top notch and the
instrumentation is done to perfection.
My favorite songs from the project are
"Harmony With Him," "For The Life Of Me"
and "The News Is Out." The entire
project is first class all the way and I
would encourage you to add this one to
you Southern Gospel Music collection!
