Kneel at the Cross

 (9 customer reviews)

It is a long-standing tradition in country music to get big stars to do gospel favorites and classic hymns. The results can often be quite mediocre (uninspired, overly sentimental, sloppy musical arrangements, etc.) or quite good (as with Johnny Cash). Happily, I would mostly put this collection in the latter category. This is largely a better version of the 2004 release, 'Amazing Grace, vol. 3' (also by Sparrow Records), which included six of the songs found on this collection:

'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus - Cyndi Thomson
Softly And Tenderly - Josh Turner
It Is No Secret - Dierks Bentley
I Need Thee Every Hour - Jamie O'Neal
Victory In Jesus - Trace Adkins
Just A Closer Walk With Thee - Joe Nichols

These are largely the better tracks from the prior album, with Cyndi Thomson's rendition of "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" being the stand-out track in my opinion. The added tracks in this new collection are fantastic, including Lee Ann...Read more

I really liked "Kneel at the Cross". The Hymns are rarely heard these days and it is so good to be able to hear them again.

This is a really good cd if you need some inspiration. Wonderful mix of artists doing some old favorites as well as songs I've never heard before. If you can't get to church some Sunday, just pop this into your music player and you will get revived. Works for other days of the week too! Highly recommend this album.
