This posthumous release showcases piano virtuoso and Gaither stalwart Anthony Burger's talent at interpreting popular songs as instrumentals without losing too much of the original version's spirit. Oldies such as "Crying In The Chapel", "You Will Never Walk Alone" and "Keep On The Sunny Side" are given the Burger treatment - very much in the Nashville sound approach of fellow pianist Floyd Cramer - with additional support from an array of pedal steels, fiddles and some good old Southern gospel backing vocals. Elsewhere, faith takes a prominent place in the proceedings with two classics from the Thomas Dorsey stable ("Take My Hand, Precious Lord" and "Peace In The Valley") whilst a pleasing rendition of Hank Williams' "I Saw The Light" keeps thing rolling along nicely in this fitting addition to the portfolio of one of Southern gospel's most revered and missed musicians.
