After the initial reaction of WOW, there is only one word for this project. Creative!!!! Of course the fantastic harmonies are there, after all, it’s the Booth Brothers. These guys have taken some songs that would be covers for anyone else, and made each song theirs. I know this was supposed to be a table project, but this recording is as good as any label project that I have ever heard.

There are some nice old hymns of the church on this CD that the guys have made fresh and new. “Tell Me The Story Of Jesus” has a little bit of a progressive sound to it, while “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” is just laid back, traditional and worshipful. While listening to “Without The Lord” you are thinking that you could easily be listening to a tune by Jake Hess and the Imperials.

So, now that I think of it, I guess there are two words to describe this recording. Creative is one, and variety is the other. It’s not just the variety of song styles but the variety of the arrangements. Take two songs written by traditional Southern Gospel writers Mosie Lister and John Matthews. “You Are My Song”, written by Lister and “The One That I Love” penned by Matthews could have been sung by any Southern Gospel group, yet the musical tracks bring them up to date stylistically.

The JD Sumner song, “What A Morning,” has that great Bass part that comes on with an Elvis feel, which I’m sure JD would approve of. This is one of my favorite songs on the CD. I will say that you do not think of Jerry Goff at all when you hear this arrangement of “I’ll See You In The Rapture”.

Even though they make some of the arrangements on a couple of the older songs fairly progressive, they take two songs that would probably be considered contemporary and they give them very strong Southern Gospel interpretations. “Crucified With Christ” and “Trust His Heart” are sure to bless you and you can forget that they ever originated in Contemporary Christian music. These two songs will have you sitting back and worshipping in sweet communion with the Lord.

There are twelve great songs on this CD and you will not want to skip any of them as you listen to this CD over and over. This is one Booth Brothers CD that will be a must for every Gospel Music fan.

I was surprised to see several studios listed for the BB recording. The ads that Nick and Robbie have put out say that the studio at Song Garden is the best. Also, is this on the Song Garden label and what has happened to Spring Hill? Are the BBs on a label at all? I am confused. . . .

Right now, the Harmony CD is only available at Booth Brothers concerts. The guys just moved their office to Spring Hill, TN and I'm sure, as soon as they are settled, it will be available online.

Bought this CD at a recent concert! Fell in love with each and every song. Each of the guys (Michael, Ronnie, and Jim) have something to bring to the group. Each song is special, but my favorite is Trust His Heart. Hearing them perform some of these songs just adds to their beauty. They can do almost any style of music WELL! The CD may wear out with many times of being played.

This CD is one of the best I've bought this year....picked it up at their table at NQC. I was skeptical that they could really do "Crucified with Christ" the way it ought to be done, but they pulled it off. I shouldn't have been wary....after all, these are the Booth Brothers! Way to go, guys!
