Probably
nearly every Gospel Music group has
recorded a hymns project sometime in
their life. The Stevens Family are
one of the latest to do so and this
collection of ten familiar hymns are all
favorites in Gospel Music. The
project is well done and the selection
of songs is great.
"Yes I
Know" is a favorite from the Gaither
Vocal Band and may not be a true hymn as
we might think of hymns but this song is
a classic and a favorite of many.
The next song brought back many great
memories for me. "Mansion Over The
Hilltop" was my mom's favorite song and
I enjoyed this version. "The Love
Of God" is next and this is one of my
top three or four favorite hymns.
The a cappella version and harmonies by
the Stevens Family is very good.
Another of
my top three or four favorite hymns is
next with "In The Garden." What a
great song and the efforts from the
Stevens Family is awesome!
"Standing On The Promises" is another
very familiar hymn and this version
might be slightly different than you are
use to but it works and it is quite
enjoyable. "There Is A Fountain
Filled With Blood" is one of the all
time great songs about the Blood of
Jesus! "He Set Me Free" is a great
upbeat song and the Stevens Family sings
it very well.
"Satisfied"
is such a popular song title I was eager
to see which song this was. I was
not disappointed! "He The Pearly
Gates Will Open" is a great, old hymn!
I don't think I have heard that song in
years but I enjoyed hearing the words
once again. "Softly And Tenderly"
is the final song on the project and
once again it showcases the harmonies
from this group.
The Stevens
Family has some very good ability to
harmonize as a group. They
showcase that several times with these
familiar songs and hymns. The
production is very good on the project
as well. My favorite songs on this
project are "In The Garden," "The Love
Of God" and "Mansion Over The Hilltop."
I always enjoy a good project full of
great, old hymns and this one fits the
bill! I believe this group will
only continue to get better and better
with time. For more information on
