Good old-time gospel,

This review is from: Heavenly Highway Hymns (Shape Note Style) (Hardcover)
This hymnal brings back memories from my childhood, with old southern gospel favorites. The Heavenly Highway Hymnal has gone over very well with the older popluation at my church. However, it is written in shape notes, which the younger members complain are hard for them to read. The only real drawback I find is the size. The hymnal comes in 2 formats, a large print edition for easy reading, and a smaller "regular" edition. The larger book is almost too large to fit on our lecturn, while the smaller hymnal is so small even members much younger than myself say it is difficult to read. A nice mid-size edition would make this a more desireable purchase.

This review is from: Heavenly Highway Hymns (Paperback)
First ran into it at a gospel sing accompanying the big festival in Mountain View Arkansas back in the 70's. The church that hosted the sing had it as their regular hymnal. I've had and lost several copies since then. The newer editions don't have the songs I loved.If you love country or bluegrass gospel music, it's a good one to have. I won't say that you MUST HAVE it, but I'm always glad to have a copy around. Doesn't have everything. No "Watchman Tell Me" for instance. But lots of others, Kneel at the Cross, Gospel Ship, We'll Understand It All By and By. There are a couple of other editions, not as good for someone who loves the the particular genre. None with the brown paper cover, as far as I know.
