Gospel music has never been more popular than it is today, from Christian venues to more agnostic appreciation from R&B, country and mainstream music fans. Now a new series, The Gospel Spirit, resurrects the best gospel recordings, each digitally remastered, from country music's greatest artists. On August 24, 2004, the first four albums to be released. Among them: LORETTA LYNN: THE GOSPEL SPIRIT (MCA Nashville/UMe) brings together the best of the Country Music Hall Of Famer's three albums of inspirational music -- HYMNS, WHO SAYS GOD IS DEAD! and GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN -- each produced by Bradley and recorded from 1965 to 1970. Featuring both traditional and original songs, many of these recordings make their CD debuts; several have never before been reissued. The compilation includes 'Peace In The Valley,' 'In The Sweet Bye And Bye,' 'The Old Rugged Cross' and 'Harp With Golden Strings' (both with The Jordanaires), 'If God Is Dead (Who's This Living In My Soul)' and 'Just A Little Talk With Jesus.' You'll find the album on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002MRPFY/ It's also on Rhapsody, as are two of the other albums in the series. Loretta Lynn: The Gospel Spirit |
