On the weekend of June 2nd … it’s a special edition of The Gospel Greats, as all of the songs will be favorite old hymns … sung by your favorite Southern Gospel artists. Hear thoughts about why the hymns are special and irreplaceable from such artists as Phil Collingsworth (Collingsworth Family), Tim Riley (Gold City), Jim & Melissa Brady and Michael Booth (Booth Brothers). If you grew up singing these great old hymns in church, you’ll probably know every one of them.
Paul’s Featured Artist on this program will be Guy Penrod with songs from his brand new CD called Hymns. Guy will explain why he wanted to do a hymns recording and why the grand old hymns remain so special for today’s generation. You’ll hear five songs from his CD, and Guy will tell you why he chose them — and why they’re so meaningful. Included will be a very special duet Guy did with the legendary George Beverly Shea, who’s 103 years old.
Finally … Paul includes an Artist Spotlight segment visit with the Hoppers, featuring three songs from their current Hymns recording. Dean Hopper will explain why, although they’ve recorded many hymns over the years, this CD is different.
