Ms. Crosby's body of work is out of style now, but for those of us raised in Protestant churches a half century ago, the work still lives. This CD could've had more of the literally dozens of hymns she produced, but this is a very good sampler. I would have preferred listening to these in a choral context, but Mr. Hamilton presents a good and honest rendering of these songs. I appreciate his effort, and recommend the CD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Turning Fanny Crosby's Hymns into Bombs, February 27, 2008

By

This review is from: The Valley of Silence: Fanny Crosby Favourites (Audio CD)

Fanny Crosby was certainly one of the most prolific writer of gospel songs and hymns the world has ever known. There are many of them in church hymnals today. Unfortunately, this CD turns Miss Crosby's hymns into twangy, hillbilly ditties that I had very little patience to listen to. I would suggest that others who want to hear the old gospel hymns find them in another venue, because this CD---pardon the expression---smells.
