Acts like Ralph Stanley, Marty Stuart, Rhonda Vincent and The Clinch Mountain Boys in concert.

This unique Homecoming gathering offers the very best of three musical worlds… country, bluegrass and gospel music. From seasoned hall-of-famers and pioneers to young up-and-comers, this musical melting pot celebrates the common thread of faith that runs through these three distinct musical genres through a mix of gospel classics and new favorites featuring performances by: the Gaither Vocal Band, Cherryholmes, Dailey & Vincent, The Booth Brothers, Marty Stuart, The Grascals, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Rhonda Vincent, Larry Sparks, Ben Speer, George Jones, The Isaacs, Ralph Stanley, Gordon Mote, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Jimmy Fortune and Vince Gill.

Reviewed by Ewan Jones

The Gaither series don't do anything by halves and this in concert affair occasionally comes across a little slick for a collection of tunes so downhome. But there's no doubting the talent on offer her. "There's A Rainbow At The End Of Every Storm" sung by mainstream country veteran Marty Stuart and his band The Fabulous Superlatives is a bluesy gospel number, "Climbing Up The Mountain" performed by Southern gospel's top sellers Ernie Haase & Signature Sound has a great, almost rockabilly groove, "I Heard My Saviour Calling Me" sung by Rhonda Vincent & The Rage is an upbeat Alison Krauss-style hoedown while Elvis could have crooned "Time Has Made A Change" as performed here by Ben Speer, Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. "I Am The Man Thomas" features seasoned veterans Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys and tells the gospel in an imaginative exchange between Jesus and doubting Thomas while an overblown ensemble rendition of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" is a charming country plodder. You either love it or hate it, but I'm a believer and this CD is great fun.
