Amazon.com: On this gospel-themed collection, the artist who brought "new traditionalism" to Nashville goes all the way back to the Rock of Ages. Old-time religion meets old-time country on "Feet on the Rock," with other material ranging from the Judgement Day literalism of "Which Way Will You Choose" to the mystically metaphorical "See Myself in You" to a stripped-to-the-bone, album-closing rendition of "Amazing Grace." The loping "The Carpenter" (one of three songs cowritten by Travis) features guest vocals from Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, while "Doctor Jesus," with its mournful steel guitar, could pass for vintage George Jones. Though some of the lesser tracks are stronger on sermonizing than musical appeal, the melodic uplift of "Baptism" could highlight any Travis album. --Don McLeese
Customer Reviews:
- Sharing the Inspiration: I purchased this CD about 7 years ago for myself and loved it. My husband, who is not given to church going, also selected this CD and sang along often. I was at a loss as to what to get for my nephew for Christmas. He likes Country & Western and has a spiritual outlook on life, so this CD blends the best of spiritual,country on an unmistakably southern journey back in time.
