5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Gaither Vocal Band, November 5, 2004

By	Jane Austin "rosebel" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This CD is everything I hoped it would be and more! Being in my late 40's most of these songs are from my teens/early adult years. The arrangements, superb smooth harmonies [accompanied and acapella], and uplifting individual voices make for a moving, spirit inspired, joyous and worshipful CD. These guys aren't merely performing songs for entertainment's sake but sing with passion, from the heart and their obvious love for the Lord. They are gifted worship leaders singing for all they're worth and take me along with them. I have thrashed the CD since I got it last week and can't get enough of it. As enjoyable as the Homecoming series is, to have only the GVB do their finest is something I have longed waited for. Group memebers may have changed over the years but the sound is enduring. Please Bill give us another - some of my favourites are missing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful harmony, April 26, 2005

By	M. CUNNINGHAM "Valerie" (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This 37-song, 2 CD collection contains fun, upbeat songs, traditional southern gospel, and lovely worship songs. You'll find classics written by Bill Gaither such as "He Touched Me" and "The King is Coming" (co-written with Gloria Gaither.) The most modern song on the collection is "Second Fiddle" written by David Phelps.
The GVB has changed membership many times over the years, and you will hear from the likes of Mark Lowry, Michael English, Guy Penrod, David Phelps, Russ Taff, and the newest member, Marshall Hall. The vocal harmony is impeccable...especially heard on the acappella songs.
One disclaimer: If you are looking for very early GVB material, it's not on this collection. Most of the songs are from the 1990's to the present.

4.0 out of 5 stars We're fans., March 9, 2006

By	Denise Carter (Garland, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those not particularly interested in gospel singing, this CD may not appeal to you. We do enjoy the Gaithers and have several DVDs and CDs in our collection. We have especially enjoyed David Phelps who is no longer with the group, and we do miss his high tenor stylings that just make you want to stand up and clap.
