Editorial Reviews

Tennessee Ernie Ford's warm, commanding baritone lives on most dramatically in his vivid rendition of the Merle Travis-penned coal miner's song "Sixteen Tons," which topped the national charts in 1955. But by the 1960s, Ford, a leading entertainer in his time and host of an NBC-TV variety show that ran from 1956 to 1961, had turned heavily to sacred music. By the time of his death in 1991, he'd recorded no fewer than 81 albums of gospel and spiritual music. Some of Ford's most memorable hymns are collected in this ample set, which includes both the familiar ("How Great Thou Art," "Rock of Ages") and the relatively obscure ("When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart," "Blessed Assurance"). Across the years, Ford's voice continues to echo with heartfelt earnestness and warm reassurance that soothes the soul and transcends the test of time as he magnificently makes these gospel masterpieces his own. --Bob Allen

5 out of 5 stars Good Old-Time Gospel Music.......2007-05-05

Tennessee Ernie Ford is one of my favorite baritone singers. This collextion is derived and put together by Bill Gaither and his production staff. T.E.F. had the smoothest voice in early country and gospel music. If you like old-time gospel, you will like this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic as always!.......2007-03-20

Great selection of hymns by one of the all time greats! I really am enjoying this collection.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-01-27

My husband started me on the hunt for this rare edition of TEF gospel hymns. I surprised him with it and he immediately put it in the cd player. It is totally awesome. He practically listens to it every evening. It is indeed one of his most prized possessions.

5 out of 5 stars Nothing Better.......2007-01-16

A wonderful simple mix of arrangements and genre....some traditional classics, bluegrass and spirituals....and on many selections Ernie invites a quartet or more of other singers to join him. I miss Ernie Ford...a magnificent, underrated talent [even in his heyday]. A charming host who was unafraid to declare his homage to the Almighty at the close of each performance.

5 out of 5 stars One of Ernie Ford's BEST.......2007-01-10

This was a Great album on records and an outstanding job was performed in the "CD"conversion. In my opinion, Ernie Ford was one of the finest Gospel Singers of the twentieth century.
