When I listen to my IPOD at night - (usually as a sleep aid) I listen to a wide variety of music. I appreciate nearly all kinds of music - and when it comes to Christian music, I love it all! I soar with some Michael W. Smith and Travis Cottrell! I also enjoy great hymns - and Christian instrumentalists.
But I have to tell you - I can sit and listen to a combination of Southern Gospel with some Gaither style thrown in all day! For the last hour I have been listening to a variety of Southern Gospel! It has been fast, slow, some old style Southern Gospel, some new style Southern Gospel - and I just love it! Love the harmony! Love the lyrics! Enjoy the beat!
I'm amazed at how many folks I meet who seem to detest Southern Gospel! I find that many of those folks have never really listened to it! I guess I am a product of my raising, but Southern Gospel has really led the church in much innovation musically. At one time, they were the "contemporary" bunch when compared to strict hymn singing churches!
Try it - you'll like it!!!!!!!!!
