Higher Ground by Paul le moins cher Williams NEUF

Tracks:
My Lord Grows Sweeter Each Day
Another Mile
Will You Meet Me Over Yonder
Im Following the One
He Whispers Sweet Peace to Me
Look What Im Trading for a Mansion
Far Above the Starry Sky
Riches Wont Hold Me
Where Will You Build
Theyve Made a New Bible
What the Lord Has Done in Me
Higher Ground

• While Nashville musicians once unabashedly paid their respects to a higher power upon receiving a Grammy, contemporary bluegrass and country prefer hiding from their Protestant roots. On Higher Ground, Paul Williams and Cliff Waldron travel back in time to offer a dozen gospel-tinged songs with bluegrass backing. Indeed, listening to "My Lord Grows Sweeter Each Day" and "Will You Meet Me over Yonder" will convince connoisseurs of country gospel that not much has changed. This is even truer of the a cappella "He Whispered Sweet Peace to Me" and a song like "Another Mile," with its four-part harmony. A number of pieces like Johnnie Masters "Theyve Made a New Bible" and the Louvin Brothers "Where Will You Build" hark back to 1950s gospel radio as Red Shipley points out in the liner notes. Despite this commitment to tradition, tinges of the new-fangled seep into Higher Ground here and there. Mike Auldridges dobro adds a bit of spice to the proceedings, while Sally Jones lends her lovely vocals to the harmony of several songs. A nice acoustic sound, with banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, supplies ample support that never comes off as showy. For anyone who appreciates traditional gospel played with feeling and finesse, Higher Ground offers a sampling of the real thing. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
