In Jack Hannah's introduction
to this collection he says, "Gospel music has played such an important
role in shaping our lives from a moral and spiritual standpoint, and in
the development of our love and appreciation for harmony singing."
That, in a nutshell, is why they chose to do this terrific album, the Sons
of the San Joaquin gospel album.
The key to their success as a singing
group has always been their incredibly melodic harmonies, and they have
arranged these wonderful religious songs in the same successful western-style
they did their five previous albums.
In selecting the songs for this release,
Jack says, "Frivolous songs with trite lyrics and questionable theology
were not taken seriously."
Produced by the very knowledgeable
Joey Miskulin, the album includes Miskulin's masterful accordion work,
the superior acoustic guitar of the great Rich O'Brien, and a special guest
performance by the legendary Dale Evans.
These three incomparable singers,
Jack Hannah, Joe Hannah, and Lon Hannah know their gospel songs and they
know how to deliver inspiring and beautiful music, no matter what kind
of songs they are singing. If you love gospel music, you'll have
to have this album, and if you just love great singing and delightful harmonies,
you'll be hurting yourself if you don't have it.
