Country Gospel Music

I loved both volumes. I have been watching the GAITHER HOMECOMING videos from the very beginning, and I love them all. But before I became a fan of Southern Gospel music, I was a big fan of Bluegrass and Country Gospel. So these dvds are a real treat. And as far as the individual who gave it a bad review, because they didn't use the "regular" Homecoming cast as much as normal...duh!...look at the title...it's Bluegrass! What did you expect? Except for The Isaacs and Jeff and Sheri Easter, there are few, if any, of the rest that have a Bluegrass background. I acually thought that The Vocal Band and other members of the normal homecoming group, such as Jake Hess' contribution, actually detracted from the overall theme of the videos. But, all in all, they were excellent!

As in Volume 1 Gaither's excellence at putting a DVD together once again shows. Very,very enjoyable

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT (GREAT) COUNTRY BLUEGRASS HOMECOMING DVD. It consists of 21 songs very well performed, plus "I saw the Light" (the Hank Williams classic) is played during the credits portion. Plus, you get 2 bonus songs, "Futher Along" by the Grascals and "God is Watching Over me" by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. The running time is approximately 90 minutes.

Musicians include: (NOTE ALL THE MUSICIANS ARE GREAT PERFORMERS BUT ON SOME I INCLUDED SOME EXTRA INFO) the Gaither Vocal Band (they are great on "Jesus and John Wayne), the Cherryholmes, Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives (they are always outstanding), The Grascals, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Rhonda Vincent and the Rage (Always great!), The Booth Brothers, Larry Sparks, and the Lonesome Ramblers, Ben Speer, George Jones (outstanding!!), the Issacs (always great!!), Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys (always great!!! especially on "I am the man Thomas"), Gordon Mote (Super Outstanding and does Portor Waggoner imitations great!!!), Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver (a super outstanding Gospel Bluegrass Band !!!), Vince Gill and many others.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COUNTRY BLUEGRASS HOMECOMING DVD, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Volume 2 Home Coming has surpassed all expectations from Vol1.
Anyone who enjoys gospel bluegrass or blue grass/country will surely not be disappointed with the talent on this DVD. Excellent Nashville session players make this DVD a "Highly Recommend". Marty Stuart, Vince Gill, George Jones all performing at their best. Grascals, Doyle Lawson,Larry Sparks need no critique for their great bluegrass sounds. Just too many stars on this DVD, Jimmy Fortune, Booth Bros, CherylHomes, the list just goes on and on. I could hardly wait for Vol 3.

What a huge disappointment. When I buy a Gaither Gospel Series video, I expect to see and hear plenty of the Homecoming Friends harmonizing with whatever guest personalities happen to be present. This one was way too short on homecoming friends! Watching/hearing George Jones work his way through old hymns isn't my idea of Country Bluegrass. Furthermore, this video was produced without Gloria Gaither, and she was SORELY MISSED! I was sadly disappointed in this video, and its predecessor, Volume 1.

The Fisrt cd is alot better than this one, but this one is still okay. I only Liked one song on this disc and it is. Track 4. Will The Circle Be Unbroken/I'll Fly Away/ Jesus Loves Me. Don't get me wrong the music is beautiful, but i think the first one is alot better.

Awesome.... Again! Power In The Blood, such a blessing! I've had this cd since the release date... Still one I play often!

A beautiful CD, and my personal favorite. This CD was a tremendous comfort to me and my family after the loss of my brother. We had selections played at his services that held special meaning for us, and made his passing easier to accept. Beautiful, Soothing, Comforting, Worshipful.

Now this is what a country gospel album should sound like! Excellent. You'll hear no complaints from me.

Anyone who enjoys country, gospel or those old hymns from church will love this collection!

Don't get me wrong; when I saw the cover art, I cracked up. But I kept my mind open and decided to listen to it, just for the hell of it. The music is actually pretty powerful, as an atheist I almost feel the power of Christ compelling me... NOT! But I like it nonetheless.

If you like Bluegrass Gospel, you will Love this one! It is Top of the line.

Transaction was great, more then great t be honest. I love this album and have been looking for it for years and didn't think it would come out on a CD. I'm thankful it did and I play it very often.

The only thing better than this wonderful record, is to listen to it while drinking a tall glass of Tuscan milk, which coincidentally, can also be purchased here on Amazon.com.

While this album makes plain the existence of Satan, in doing so to brings a face to evil. Much as Tuscan milk proves the existence of Angels, God, Jesus and a swell afterlife.

The Louvin Brothers use their voices like cutlasses, cutting into the flesh of Beezlebub on every track. It's obvious to even the least ardent music fan that the brothers were heavily influenced by legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Herb Alpert and of course Nick "Hurrr" Gilder.

With all of these facts staring you in the face, why have you still not bought this album and some Tuscan milk? Do you want to burn in Hades for all of eternity?

THIS IS THE BEST GOSPLE SONG, THIS CD WILL LET YOU GET CLOSER TO CHRIST

This cd makes Johnny Cash and family come to life again. It is almost as though you are there at the performance with him.

In 1959, I purchased my first Johnny Cash record. If anyone ever watched his weekly show, bought his music, they need this to complete their collection. Every selection took me down memory lane of the past 40 years. Buy it!!! you won't regret it!

It was just ok. It wasn't one of Johnny's more dynamic performances and the back up musicians were not up to par. I wouldn't buy it again.

I own as much recordings of Johnny Cash as I've been able to get my hands on through the years. I've always thought that his LIVE performances were his best; Folsom, San Quentin, London Palladium (The "Strawberry Cake" album), Madison Square Garden, Austin,TX., Louisiana Heyride, Osteraker, etc. and seeing him perform live a dozen or more times are my favorite memories. This live performance in Asbury Park, N.J. is indeed a rare performance and a must have for ALL Johnny Cash fans and for those who are not. This concert includes performances of many songs that John rarely sang in concert. This is a real treat to hear him sing "Tennessee Flat Top Box","Life's Railway To Heaven" and more. For those of you who enjoyed his "Ride This Train" segment on the TV show, he performs one here. All in all John always poured his heart into his shows, like he once said at a concert in Shreveport, LA. when the audience was small due to poor weather, he'll give you his best rather they're in front of 50,000 fans or 500, he'll give you the same quality performance. In conclusion, if you like even one Johnny Cash song, you'll love this CD.

This is a great performance by Johnny Cash. Anyone who loves his music should purchase it.

An excellent choice if you like country and gospel. A nice mix of old gospel sung by some of country's greatest voices. Makes a great blend when mixed with other Southern gospel CDs.

This is one of the Gaithers best Video's yet outside of the ones with the Goodmans and Jake and some of the other one's that are gone on. Bill Gaither goes out of the way just to make sure that not only does the music sound good but he also makes sure that all the artists are having a real good time. Wish I could sit in with them and sing one with the gang. Keep up the Good Work Bill and Gloria

I got this video along with Campfire Homecoming on the 4th day after order was placed. The packaging was exceptional. Two of the best Gaither videos in recent years. I will buy from Nickalucks again!

I ENJOYED SEEING A SUMMER SCENE.IT ALSO SHOWS SOME OF THE OLD TIMERS AS WELL AS SOME NEW SONGS BY THE YOUNGER SETS, AND SOME OF THE CHILDREN OF SOME OF THESE DEAR ONES. GUY PENRODS DAUGHTER IS ON IT .

The title of this may be misleading as this video is not just any old picnic. It is a time of fellowship in a relaxed setting which most of the Gaither fans prefer. Instead of a single sheet as a Chapter Insert the Gaithers have released this with an insert that not only includes the song titles but the verses and the name of the writer. You can sing along or not as you please.

What a Day That Will Be- Jim Hill (For Those of you unfamiliar with this song a few verses are - "what a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, when I look upon his face, the one who saved me with his grace, when he takes me by the hand......"

Folks if you appreciate the reviews please vote. They take time and are meant to help you choose your selections with care.

I have really enjoyed this CD, camme in good condition in a timely manner as promised, thanks!

We bought this for my in-laws (grandparents to my kids). Most songs on the CD are songs we sing in their little country church.

I own this and I can't seem to watch it enough. I highly recommend any of their music and the other's that sing with them to anyone.

This is another great CD/DVD from the Gaither Group. We've watched it over and over and love every minute. It's a must have to add to your collection of uplifting and praise-filled music and narration.
This vendor shipped on time and the product was just as advertised.

This is a wonderful account of Daniel's life in his own words. He recounts his childhood in Ireland, his early years and his wonderful love story with his wife, Majella. This particular item came with a bonus 2 disc CD of his latest PBS special, Hope and Praise, a wonderful concert recorded in Branson.
If you are a fan of Daniel's, this is a great addition to your collection. He is so warm and down to earth, and it really comes through in this audio book.

Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Bjork and Everything but the Girl, all in one package. Daniel, the single from the forthcoming album, Two Suns, is a haunting and beautiful glimpse into Natasha Khan's world. I have a soft spot in my heart for spooky music. Don't tell anybody.

I first heard Gordon Mote on Pandora.com. I heard his song "When Mercy Walked In", I loved it and had to find the cd! Found it on Amazon and I love every song on the CD! His Christian music has a country sound. The fiddle music (which is my favorite) is great! I would recommend this CD to everyone! Plan on buying one for my daughter.

Love, love, love this CD. What an amazing collection of musical talent and spiritual blessings.

This is one of the best Christian CD's I have. He just lifts the spirit to great levels.

Ordered for my mom. She said it was OK, but he's not as good as the last guy who played for the Gaithers.

I thought all of these songs together were a sermon put to music. I'd sure like it if all of you could just sit down together and listen to these songs. I think they're some of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I've heard in a long time. Gordon was born blind but given a most wonderful gift, and he enjoys passing it along.
1. The first one I dance to, and it's to praise God. I know your hearts are open to Him because of the life you live. He watches over us, doesn't He?
2. When we look around at all the beauty there is, we can't deny there is a Creator. Gordon can sing about it without ever seeing any of it. But he can sure feel it and show his appreciation.
3. Some day, after Christ has come, and we're resurrected from the dead, when we're all together in one place with the Father and Son, we'll be loving, singing, dancing, hugging, kissing, and crying with joy. It will be a perfect time.
4. This young man asks God to open his eyes so he can see the Lord's glory when Christ comes again. I'm sure the grace of God will see to it! I don't want to miss the wonder, either.
5. There are prayers for each one of us that we never know are sent up for God's consideration. We never know about them, but we can understand that our lives might not be as they are unless someone cares enough to ask a blessing on us. The man in the music here gives us a glimpse that the church is really in the heart, not in the walls constructed of brick, wood, metal, or even stained glass.
6. Every good deed you do is a part of what God would have you do. And, like the music, it brings fantastic happiness. Notice what a fantastic pianist Gordon is. The deed he does in music is part of his happiness.
7. Mercy, mercy. If we could but have the mercy that Messiah showed us. He is there for every soul who ever lived, whether the souls wanted it or not. What a perfect gift - a gift some don't even know exists: Christ's blood shed for all. It would lead all souls to peace. Instead, we have hatred, killing, lying, power seeking, and things said and done that are not beautiful.
8. Music and noise - the same thing if it's for praise. What a happy piece.
9. Gordon can't get anywhere without someone taking him there. Yet, he definitely knows where he's going in his life. What an example! His parents must have been something special. God gave him such a fantastic gift, and he has recognized it as something to give to others and to God.
10. I think Gordon knows what he's talking about. What he sees in life we look at but don't see. I believe he appreciates all that God continues to do for him. There's no sitting and moping for this guy!
11. Gordon and his wife Kimberly sing this piece together. Faith was given to us by Jesus and from God. Jesus redeemed us. He's done it for us. Steven Curtis Chapman was one of the writers of this song. He has suffered a monumental loss of his daughter, who was killed when his older son backed over her with his car in their driveway. I think we're seeing a piece of Steven Chapman's heart.
12. Gordon, with the help of Chaz Borsage, wrote this song for Gordon's mother. It's written about the love of his mother realizing his special needs. As he says, there's no guarantee that life won't be unfair, but the debt this life owes us will all be settled one day.
13. He's never seen the glory, but he lives it. Fireflies hold back the dying day; it's a valiant effort. Even the fireflies have something worthwhile to do.
Thanks for listening and providing a way for me to share with you my love for you, your life, and all of the Father and Son that I have learned to love, respect, and obey. Thank you for spending this time with me. I miss you all in person, but my heart is always full of you. I'm so blessed. Amen.
