The Childress Family is a group that I have heard of for many years but I think this is the first project I have listened to from them.  The group is very talented and this project is on that showcases that talent in a number of ways.

"Spreading The Legacy" is the initial song on the project and you will enjoy this song and the message of it.  "Carpet Of Red" slows down the pace a lot.  The song holds a wonderful message of Christ's Blood that was shed for us.  If you like old-fashioned Southern Gospel songs, "Oh How Amazing Is Amazing Grace" is a song for you!  The song is a good one that is also talks about that Amazing Grace that God gives.  "I Desire" is a song that I believe is popular in contemporary music.  The songs is a good one and the Childress Family has a fine version of it.

"Each Drop Of Blood" is another wonderful song about the Blood of Christ!  "For What Earthly Reason" is an old song written by Dottie Rambo.  I have heard a number of versions of this song and this version is as good as any of them!  Speaking of old, traditional songs, "I'll Fly Away" certainly fits that bill.  However, this version is anything but traditional and you will enjoy the Childress Family as they spice up an old classic and make it even more enjoyable!  "In My Father's House" is a beautiful song that the Childress Family performs to near perfection.  I love the melody and the message of this great song. 

"Wonderful Time In Heaven" is another upbeat song that is an older one!  I love this song and enjoyed this version immensely.  "Just A Little Bit More" is another upbeat song that is quite enjoyable.  It remarks about how we want to worship the Lord just a little bit more!  This family also has some talents when it comes to playing instruments as they show on "I've Got That Old Time Religion In My Heart."  A very enjoyable instrumental that will have you tapping along.  "Who Is He In Yonder Stall" is the final song on the project and it's a very good version of this song.

The Childress Family is very talented and this project shows that in several ways.  The most obvious way is the vocal performances.  They are all very strong and enjoyable.  They also have songwriters in the family and wrote a number of songs on the project and they are great instrumentalists as they proved on the instrumental track.  My favorite songs from the project are "For What Earthly Reason," "Oh How Amazing Is Amazing Grace" and "In My Father's House."  The entire project is outstanding and I recommend adding the project to your personal music library.  For more information on the Childress Family, visit www.childressfamily.com.
