Memphis Homecoming
A true show of shows. Even if you are not a dedicated fan of  the Gaithers, you will find this project endearing. Longtime pillars  of the Christian music industry, the Gaither Vocal Band is renowned for  their Southern gospel zeal, and this project is no exception. Masters  of performance, the Gaithers and their Homecoming Friends (James  Blackwood, the Martins, Sandi Patti, and others) do it up in style for  this energetic display of devotion and talent. Between the ecstatic  gospel and Southern crooning, the soloists, choir, song selection, and  audience interaction cause a carefree response to swell within the  heart. The magical glow of this live performance and the tradeoff vocal  style that brings a community feel into the music create what seems  like a holiday gathering between the Gaithers and their friends. It is  a warm, happy, and good-natured production. You will likely find  yourself wishing that you had been there.--Israel Button
