I am always looking for a good instrumental project!  I respect how hard instrumentalists work at their craft and I love to listen to a good instrumental project.  I was intrigued by the "Elevator Music" title of this project.  The project is simply a good instrumental project that is very easy listening.

The project starts off with a classic song titled "Crying In The Chapel."  It also features Boots Randolph on the saxophone.  Boots is a legendary performer and joins Ernie Couch & Revival on two other songs on the project as well.  The project continues with "If He Came Once Again," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and Londonderry Air."

"How Firm A Foundation" has always been a favorite hymn of mine and I enjoyed the instrumental version these guys put on it.  The next song is another featuring Boots Randolph and You will enjoy "Dreamin'."  "Depart I Never Know You" is the next song on the project.

The next song is another old hymn that I love.  You will enjoy "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder!"  "O Store Gud" is next and is followed by the final Boots Randolph song with "I'm Forgiven."  It also features a few "doo-waps" from the guys!  "The Pilgrim Way" and "Last Dance" finish out this outstanding project!

As instrumental projects go, this one is probably a lot different than most Southern Gospel ones go.  The project, however, is outstanding!  The production is very good and the instrumental performances are great.  I love each of the songs but my favorites are "Crying In The Chapel," "How Firm A Foundation" and "I'm Forgiven."  The entire project is simply outstanding and if you love instrumental music, you must get a copy for yourself!  For more information visit their website at www.erniecouchandrevival.com.
