5.0 out of 5 stars Music for the soul, January 10, 2002

This review is from: God Is Love: The Gospel Sessions (Audio CD)

I've been a big fan of the recordings of the Light Crust Doughboys for a good while but was hesitant to pick this cd up because I wasn't all too familiar with the work of Ann-Margret, only a few of her films. I can't believe I even hesitated! Ann-Margret has blown me away, ever note she sings, everytime she delivers the messages in these songs I am touched so greatly, it's a marvelous feeling!!! The song are so inspirational and very catchy as well, great "old-time" gospel! Art Greenhaw really hit the mark with "Carry My Boat", "Low Singing Bass", and his choice of Ann-Margret as a vocalist. I've been listening to gospel music for a long long time and it's rare that you hear the songs delivered with such power and emotion, you can HEAR Ann-Margret's devotion. Thanks for this wonderful recording, I hope to hear more from this lovely lady.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gospel Songs---Great Ann-Margret!, January 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: God Is Love: The Gospel Sessions (Audio CD)

This is one of the greatest country gospel CDs of all time, great songs, great stylistic vocal interpretations by Ann-Margret, perfect backing and accompaniment by The Jordanaires and The Light Crust Doughboys. Evidently the world and the music industry think this is one of the albums of the year, since it was awarded Grammy and Dove Nominations for best album in its field. If any Ann-Margret fans who only desire that she sing lounge music will stick to reviewing what they know about, then new fans will get a much more realistic view of the wide-ranging talents of one of the female pop singers of the century: Ann-Margret! Check out all the awards received by this ground-breaking album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ann-Margret IS a Gospel Singer, January 16, 2002

By

This review is from: God Is Love: The Gospel Sessions (Audio CD)

I just received my copy of this cd and have to totally disagree with the review below mine...Ann-Margret's voice is so filled with emotion and spirit that the songs come alive. Her voice retains the breathy-sexy sound she is famous for but it's obvious when she is singing that she means every word coming out of her mouth and who can criticize someone who obviously loves the Lord that much??? I think this is a fabulous piece of work.
