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 World 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
