Signature Sound's new DVD is Gaither-riffic
I admit I was a little harsh in my last writing about EHSSQ's new CD. Listening in a car, even my Acura's Sony stereo, didn't give me the full depth of the CD. Needless to say, I like it much better and there is harmony on there. Mea Culpa.
The DVD is wonderful. Great stage presence is the name of the game and EHSSQ has it. Just for fun in the wee hours of the morning today, I watched the DVD and compared it with a recent release by Gold City. GC stands and sings and you wonder sometimes if they are having a good time. You never have a doubt with EHSSQ.
The video starts with a fake locker room episode where Bill Gaither is the coach and the group are the players (playing up that basketball theme that is getting old). Pretty clever and done in muted color. Then the boys come out and sing what I thought was a Christmas song, "Glory to God." Done well. A lot of upbeat numbers are sung, and the usual lame comedy from Roy, the pianist. Finally, they do the big songs (as in "wall of sound") from the CD--the two Gaither songs and bring down the house. And a good time was had by all.
This is one of the better videos to come from Gaither in awhile. They even included a tribute to George Younce in case someone didn't buy his memorial video from Gaither (call 1-800-BUYGAITHER) and are shown by a campfire singing "Father Along" with only Kevin Williams' accompaniment. Russ Taff solos and sings a verse with EHSSQ and the Gaither Vocal Band, Wesley Pritchard gets a verse of "Gospel Boogie," and Linda Randle sings. Most of your favorite Homecoming Friends.
It's worth buying and seeing these guys. They may fizzle out with their dancing, spiked hair and short ties, but they may be the next Statesmen. You owe it to yourselves to see them and make your decision.
