When the worst thing I can say about this CD is that it only has ten tracks, that is a good thing. On this CD, Tennessee Ernie Ford sings some of the most beautiful hymns ever written, and he does so as well as I have ever heard. For the person who loves these songs, the versions by Ford are absolutely not to be missed.

Finally someone tries to offer hymns that are new to CD. Unfortunately, it suffers the tragic flaw of only having a small collection. This album is worth the buy for two reasons. Many of these songs are not located on the Gaither Collection. Secondly, the liner notes are written by the same man who wrote them Ernie's last album for Capitol, For the 83rd time. The notes provide a useful insight into the life and times, as well as the man itself.

I can listen to this over and over, excellent hymns. You won't be disappointed.

Even when I was a little boy, Ernie Ford's voice enthralled me. I wanted to be able to sing just like him. It ended up that I can barely sing at all and in a reedy baritone at that, but with these CD's I can sing along and enjoy the unique voicings only Erine could accomplish. Really, it was for my parents and if a CD can be worn out, they will wear out the ones I got them of Ernie Ford.
