Synopsis

Album Description
The soaring vocals of Engelbert Humperdinck join with gospel and country greats The Jordanaires, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet and The Light Crust Doughboys for a roots, southern-style country gospel album that's been called a classic in its field. Pop music icon Engelbert is creatively backed by musicians and singers grounded in the classic elements of the style--heaven-sent harmonies, barrelhouse piano, rocking rhythm guitars--and the results form an essential gospel album with unbridled passion. Engelbert and Company have brilliantly avoided a bland, toothless, middle-of-the-road approach to inspirational music and instead have built an album that stands as one of the very best albums of the year. Engelbert's famous voice is earnest and world-weary as he sings in a remarkable style which is part ballad singer, part r&b soulman. The old hymns of the centuries come alive, and the new songs sizzle with an arresting power. The Jordanaires, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet and The Light Crust Doughboys are perfect accompaniests, singing and playing with great soul and conviction. Indeed, this is a showcase for their sounds and styles, as well as Engelbert's. This could be the most intimate and emotional music we'll hear on record this year--bold, gutsy, sanctified and real.
