GiftShoppingZone presents The Old, Old Story: Traditional Hymns in Modern America CD: The Old, Old Story: Traditional Hymns in Modern America, Various Artists CD - The Old, Old StoryVarious ArtistsMiss that old country church and the hymns of your childhood? Well, Dale Wiley did too. He set out to small, rural churches and captured the sounds of Sunday morning. Featuring classic hymns like "Pow'r In The Blood," "Amazing Grace" and "Just As I Am," this collection features an entire congregation singing as they have for many generations. The CD has been featured and praised everywhere from NPR's "Morning Edition" to the Chicago Sun-Times for the uncanny Sunday experience it provides. But you'll need to hear this for yourself!Reviews:All Music Guide:"The Old Old Story is a collection of classic hymns recorded at chapels and churches to maintain an authentic, real sound. Taken from the Bowling Chapel and the Fundamental Methodist Church in Crane, MO, the album's songs represent classic hymns that have been slowly phased out of many churches looking for a newer praise sound. Producer Dale Wiley also purposefully avoided recording the songs cleanly, instead opting to include the sounds of babies crying and pages rustling and things along those lines. Anyone looking for a congregational recording of this music should give this a listen."Here are what customers have to say:Listener: Crane, MOI bought this record and felt like I was stepping into the middle of an old-time, down-home country church. You can hear all the sounds you would if you were there, and if you turn it up just a little, you feel like you're right in the middle of the third pew! The singers are very good, but it doesn't sound so plastic like you might find in many of the Christian albums today. If you went to a country church when you were little, or want to know what it would be like, this is definitely an album you need to buy.Listener: USAI have never owned a CD that so captured an experience as this one. It reminds me of my days in the Methodist church growing up, of all the Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings spent there. These are joyful congregations singing classic songs and I love it.Listener: Austin, TXI was taken back to the 50s, being in a little church in Zephyr, Tx with my grandmother. This recording captures the sound and feeling of rural churches. And the song selection was just great. The big city churches don't sing many of these any longer. This CD is not about production, it's about reality--and it's REAL!Listener: Evansville, INThe purpose of this anthology was not to flout virtuosity, but to preserve an important piece of American culture which, until 40 years ago or so, was familiar to at least half of us. This CD lives up to this promise. In so doing it also provides us with music which is innocent, melodious and lyrical.Listener: USAWhen I heard this CD I was transported back to the Baptist Church of my childhood. It really is an uncanny feeling: listening to this recording you can
