A name synonymous with Country Gospel is the name Hinson; Country and Hinson go hand in hand. It doesn't matter what song they come out with, it's going to be as country as fried cornbread; why you can even smell the grease. I can't help but think that if Kenny Hinson were still alive, he'd be awfully proud of this latest release from the group. Bo and the gang completely embody the style that is unmistakably Hinson and this is absolutely best recording they have released in years. I will admit though, at the first, it took awhile for me to warm up to this recording, but once I lived with it awhile, I found it to be a delightful gem.

Almost as if it's a proclamation to the entire world, Bo starts the recording out with the heartfelt, "I'M STILL HERE" before he kicks it into high gear with the song, "LONELYVILLE", which takes it's theme from the story about the prodigal son.

"DEATH IN THE FAMILY TONIGHT" definitely has that trademark Hinson sound and will no doubt be a favorite among many, as will the Progressive Country feel of the worshipful, "HOLY AWE". Things get kicked back into high gear with the energetic, Pentecostal flare of "THIS IS WHAT REVIVAL IS ALL ABOUT".

While I get the general idea behind the song, "ONE EMPTY CHAIR", I don't think the song is exactly scriptural.I don't share the idea that there will be empty chairs in Heaven that should have been occupied by people who didn't accept Christ. But like I said, I see the idea the song, and I'm sure a lot of people will find this song a personal favorite.

"MODIFIED ME" allow us to hear Shawn McDougal, an extraordinary talent in his own right. Hidden in the shadow of the Hinson legacy, it's great to hear him on the second verse, before Bo takes the lead again on "THE POTTER'S WHEEL", a tremendous song of grace and submission. "GOD WILL MAKE A WAY" keeps things in slow mode and is the only feature for Kym Hinson-Calvery before Bo takes us back into high gear with "SOUL WINNER".

Shawn gets a feature all his own with the ballad, "HE'S MY STRENGTH" before Bo closes things out with the hard driving, "UNSTOPPABLE BLOOD."

After several years of relative obscurity, and evolving into more of a "Hinson Revival" group, reviving and recording previously recorded Hinson tunes, it's great to finally hear the past meeting the future and the group coming out with such a top notch recording. The tracks are smokin' and the vocals are done in true Hinson style. Each song bares the Hinson name as writer, whether it'd be Bo or his dad, Ronnie, and showcase some excellent lyrical offerings. While not everyone will like this recording because it's country through and through, true Hinson fans will definitely be able sink their teeth into it and devour each and every note from beginning to end.

I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer. This is the best project that Bo and the gang have ever released. It's lyrically and musically sound, and I don't think any gospel fan could ask for more. Also you can hear Bo on an awesome song by The Freemans on their new CD, "Eyes on the Prize". Wow, does he ever do a good job on that song. Keep up the great work for God, guys!
