I came to appreciate the talent of Andy Griffith through the show "Matlock," and I never realized that he sang hymns. Being a Christian, I enjoy a good hymn, so I think it goes without saying that I really like this CD. It really is very good.

I recieved this cd for a Christmas gift and love it! Mr. Griffith has a wonderful voice and gives you a feeling that your in an old Southern church. I love the way he sings these old gospel songs and the way he puts his heart and soul into each song he sings. I'm 23 and appreciate this type of music. If your a gospel fan and a Christian like I am that loves to hear good southern hymns then I recommend this cd.

This is probably the best and most inspiring CD I have ever purchased! A CD of this caliber is long past due. I have always loved country gospel hymns, having grown up both Pentecostal and Baptist. I listen to this CD almost everyday, I enjoy it so much. The talent that went into the arrangements and singing is amazing, especially track #5 "When I Can Read My Title Clear" which is impressive because of the use of Bagpipes...which is something gospel music has lacked up to this point and I hope there are more albums released with hymns played on Bagpipes.

This c.d. is great. I like all of the songs especially I'll fly away. I recommend this c.d. to any one who loves old time gospel music, just like I do!!!

Andy Griffith has a down-to-earth style, and a nice clear voice. True to his "Aw, Shucks" background, he doesn't showboat. The accompaniment varies from song to song, some nice drums in "Marching to Zion," and powerful orchestra in "How Great Thou Art." All in all, a nice listen. I was disappointed that there are only 14 cuts on this CD. I turned the case over and shook it, sure that there must be another disc. The cover says "25 Timeless Hymns." Alas, some brainy producer thought we wouldn't notice that they managed to get up to 25 by shortening the hymns, and doubling up two songs together on most of the tracks. * sigh * Andy, why did you let them tell you that this was a good idea?

I purchased this for my mother who is a fan of old time Country Gospel. We enjoy Andy Griffith and would recommend any of his works.

This is a wonderful CD. It has a lot of the old time hymns. It is worth buying.
