This album features the most popular Steve Green recordings from that decade – including “People Need The Lord”, “He Holds The Keys” and Luther’s evergreen hymn “A Mighty Fortress”. Steve can best be described at a male equivalent to Sandy Patty. So if you like her music and that of the Gaithers then you are likely to enjoy this mini retrospective collection that features some of Nashville’s finest Christian MOR writers of 20 years ago – including producer Greg Nelson, Jon Mohr and Niles Borop. Judging from their surnames this album ought to go down well in Scandinavia! I have to admit that it leaves me as cold as the temperature in Lapland. But I cannot deny that at the time of their initial release these grandly recorded songs were a source of great blessing to many. With Gaither’s Southern gospel music attracting a huge audience at the moment there is every likelihood than its fans would do well to pick up on this briefest of introductions to the music of a man with a powerful tenor voice who is still singing in the quasi-operatic style that made him a household name in American Christian homes a couple of decades ago.
