Being a teenager in the 70s in the Midwest, I couldn't escape hearing the Marshall Tucker Band. I recently acquired a 2 CD greatest hits package and enjoyed reliving some of those memories. When I discovered that a later incarnation of MTB had recorded a gospel CD, I was greatly interested. I returned to the faith as an adult, and I'm not enamored by contemporary Christian music. So to have a gospel CD performed by a band from my (wild) youth seemed appropriate.

This band is not, of course, the same MTB as the original band, but they do have one of the original vocalists who sang most of their early hits. These songs are performed in a style of country that you commonly hear on the radio today - with a little rock flavor. Most of the songs are very well done and I look forward to enjoying this CD for years to come. There are a few low points - a second lead vocalist takes over on a few songs, and I think there could have been other songs he would have been more effective than the first lead vocalist, and vice versa. Otherwise this is a listenable set of gospel songs, sung with conviction, played in a contemporary country style.

Although this CD is now out of print, check out some of the other Amazon dealers. It's still available and at decent prices too. I received my CD quickly and it was new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Miss This One, Folks, November 7, 2000

I sure wish the record company had promoted this one. It is a simply wonderful record, with tons of heart and soul. Doug Gray sings beautifully, and the song "Mama Don't Cry Anymore" should have been a country radio hit. Guess there's no room for the "old pros" with Shania and all the other youngsters crowding around the microphone! Anyway, this is an awesome an inspirational cd. One of my top ten MTB records ever. Beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars MTB Redeems Themselves with "Gospel", August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gospel (Audio CD)

There is something magic about this release. The beauty of "Eye is On the Sparrow," a duet between Doug Gray and daughter Gabrielle; the absolutely MTB sound of "Wayfaring Stranger," and the bittersweet song "Mama Dont Cry Anymore," which was recorded months before the accidental death of Gray's Mother in an auto accident; the country-rocking "Singin with the Saints." Every song is a gem. Bassist Tim Lawter sings "Beauty of Life," a song written by guitarist Rusty Milner, and it is absolutely great. This is much more than just another good MTB album, it is a testimony. Beautiful and uplifting.
