Bill Gaither Mountain Homecoming/I'll Meet You On The Mountain CD

Though gospel stalwarts Bill and Gloria Gaither released I'LL MEET YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN more than 30 years into their career, the album shows that neither their music nor its attendant message have lost any of their inspirational power. The album, which was recorded in front of a whooping, hand-clapping live audience, opens with the punchy country-flavored title track and roars forward from there, covering a range of styles, from countrified gospel, to traditional gospel, to slower, more sweeping arrangements that highlight individual soloists.

MOUNTAIN HOMECOMING keeps the good times coming, from the uptempo bluegrass of "Faith Like That" to the '70s country stylings of "Take This Trip Beside Me" to the traditional southern gospel rave-up of "Jesus Saves."
