Alabama

Although Alabama's first all gospel album may be big news for the band's core fan base, these songs still sound like classic Alabama, though more traditionally secular. Old time religious standards like "Amazing Grace," "His Eye Is on the Sparrow," "Jesus Loves Me" and "Rock Of Ages" come off sounding like timeless takes on gospel staples, with the band's heavenly harmonies overflowing like the river of Jordan. Legendary bluegrass picker Ralph Stanley contributes a truly inspirational duet on "I Am the Man Thomas."
