Kenny & Amanda Smith Band
For any who appreciate good bluegrass gospel music, this is one of the loveliest albums that you’ll find anywhere. What makes it so special? Start with the absolutely beautiful singing of Amanda Smith, complement with Kenny’s very nice harmonies (as well as leads on a few songs), obtain a wonderful program of well-chosen songs, add stellar amd tasteful picking, and make use of a superb recording studio. The songs are a fascinating mixture of new compositions and songs from the Southern gospel quartet tradition, such as Squire Parsons’ 'A Great Big Hand' and Luther Pressley’s 'Shoutin' Time' (with guest Rhonda Vincent). Kenny is featured on the poignant & lovely 'Angels Calling At My Door' and provides much superb guitar work throughout the disc.
