I've known & played these songs for more than 20 years, some without ever hearing the original, picking them up from other musicians I ran across. Others I learned from scratchy old LPs. The rythms are good, foot tapping stuff, sort of what we call "down home" and the words are usually Bible stories set to music - a good way to get Bible truths into folks who maybe don't read well, or who aren't familiar with them. Some of the songs are very similar to each other, and you may not want to sit down and listen to the entire collection in one sitting, but they are a good resource for this style of harmony, and I'm using it to teach my 18 yr old daughter some of the "homestyle" chords on guitar and rythm patterns.

By the way, for the reviewer who wasn't sure if the 'Gales were Christian because he or she could not understand one of the words in "It's Going to Rain," it's "It won't be water, but fire the next time."

This one makes ya feel good, like a baby being rocked in the "Cradle of God"! And not just sweet&swinging rhythm's, but wonderful quartet, singing lyrics to learn, or confirm your faith by. I mean you will actually hear "Scripture in Song" in a way only these guy's deliver. TRULY-A-JOY!!! and (Scotty G. know good music)!

...We used to sing that song and other songs by the 'Gales, and we played their records all of the time. From what I've listened to on this CD, the songs are done very well, but I rated it only 3 stars because these are not the original versions(especially "It's Gonna Rain" and "At The Meeting"). It would be worth your while to find the original versions.

I have search for this album and now am able to enjoy it. Thank you for your speedy response to my request.

I grew up listening to Bill and Gloria Gaither, The Happy Goodman Family, The Kendalls, The Chuck Wagon Gang, and many other Southern Gospel singers. This group ranks right in there with them. It is a FANTASTIC cd. If you like Southern Gospel Music, you need to buy this cd.

I want to know if there is a web site that I can get into to find the lyrics to the song Its gonna rain. Can you please send me the website so I can go into it and read the words. Thank you.

it's gonna rain it's gonna rain you better get ready and bear this in mind.

I think these guys sing with a real heart for God. The only thing I question is some of the lyrics in thier song which is why I gave them four stars. One example is the song "Its going to rain". The part where it said "God showed Noah the rainbow sign he said it won't be water but f--- next time". I would think they would have said it won't be water but fire next time but it sounds like thier saying it won't be water but father next time. I would really like to know what they said because I bought their CD Greatest Hits and there are no lyrics on CD to indicate what was said. Other than that they sound like they are real Christians but really I don't know if they are.
