The Mills Brothers make these hymns sparkle

"This CD contians ten hymns by The Mills Brothers, all of them absolutely wonderful. However, I would like to single out two of the tracks as being the best versions of the respective songs that I have ever heard. "The Old Rugged Cross" is both aristically brilliant and spiritually inspiring. The arrangement is perfect for the song and the style of The Mills Brothers. The same goes for their amazing version of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee", which is not done in the typical overpaced style that the song is usually performed in, but is slowed down so that the power of the lyric comes through perfectly. These two and the other eight songs make for a terrifically inspiring time of worship."
Truly inspirational
