Southern
Gospel Music has a very distinct sound
and style. Often times when a
group steps out of that style, they are
heavily criticized. However, I
enjoy seeing a Southern Gospel Group
take a chance once in a while and the
LeFevre Quartet took a big one with this
project. The LeFevre Quartet
recorded ten popular CCM and Praise and
Worship songs. I enjoy that style
of music and I love this project!
"Here I Am
To Worship" is a popular song used in
church services all over the country.
"Total Praise" is next and this Richard
Smallwood song has become a praise
anthem all over the country.
"Friend Of God" is another of the
popular P&W songs that the LeFevre
Quartet chose to record.
"Agnus
De/Worthy" is a Michael W. Smith song
that the LeFevre Quartet sings
perfectly. "Come Now Is The Time
To Worship" is another of those songs
you are likely to hear in church
services. I know it seems like my
church sings it every week! "I
Bless Your Name" is another great
worship song. "You Are God Alone"
is another song that the LeFevre Quartet
sings very well.
"Lord I
Believe In You," "How Great Our God" and
"You Are Good" round out this project
with three more P&W standards. The
LeFevre Quartet continues to do an
outstanding job on these songs.
The LeFevre
Quartet seems very comfortable going
outside of the Southern Gospel style.
The guys do an outstanding job on all of
these songs and, if the Southern Gospel
Fans will give this project a chance,
they will enjoy it and be blessed by it!
My favorites from this project are "Here
I Am To Worship," "We Worship You" and
"Total Praise." This project is
way outside of the traditional Southern
Gospel project but I believe it still
has a place in our industry and I for
one enjoyed it a great deal! |
