The long established family group have had a new lease of life with their performances on some of the Gaither Homecoming CD/DVDs and this engaging album commences with a strong rendition of "Down By The Riverside" and quickly leads into memorable recordings of "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing" and "I Sing The Mighty Power Of God". Unlike previous albums, the backing here is very heavily orchestrated so it doesn't have such a country feel. But the vocals are first rate and in Kim Hopper they undoubtedly have one of the strongest voices in contemporary Christian music. Particular standouts are their faultless renditions of the old hymns "All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name" and "It Is Well With My Soul". I was also very glad to see the bluegrass favourite "Oh Come Angel Band" included.
