"THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COMTEMPORARY GOSPEL BLUEGRASS CONCERT!!! I WOULD GIVE IT 10 STARS IF I COULD. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS GROUP, AND YOU LIKE GOSPEL BLUEGRASS - YOU MUST SEE THIS CONCERT DVD AND THIER OTHER ONE. THIS FAMILY & THEIR BAND ARE SIMPLE "AWESOME". THIS PARTICULAR CONCERT DVD IS A "MUST-HAVE" FOR ANY GOSPEL BLUEGRASS FAN!!!



YOU 4 BASIC MUSICIANS IN THE FAMILY, THE MOTHER (LILY ON VOCALS), TWO SISTERS(SONYA ON VOCALS AND MANDOLIN & REBECCA ON GUITAR AND VOCALS), AND A BROTHER (BEN ON BASS). PLUS, YOU GET A HOST OF OTHER BACKUP MUSICIANS INCLUDING A VIOLIN PLAYER, A BANJO PLAYER, AND OTHERS THESE PEOPLE CAN DEFINITELY PLAY GOSPEL BLUEGRASS. REBECCA'S HUSBAND WAS IN THE BAND IN THEIR LAST DVD "THE ISSAC'S BEST OF THE HOMECOMING SERIES", BUT NOW HE IS IN THE AUIDIENCE IN THIS DVD (THEY SAY HE QUIT THE BAND TO BECOME A SCHOOL TEACHER).



THE SONGS INCLUDE:



GREAT IS THY REWARD

IF THAT DON'T MAKE YOU WANT TO GO

I SURRENDER ALL

YOURS AND MINE

I'LL FLY AWAY



WALK ON (THIS IS OUTSTANDING - YOU MUST WATCH THIS ONE, IF YOU DO -YOU'LL BE 'HOOKED' ON THE ISSACS. ALSO, IN THIS SONG THEY SEEM TO BE MAKING A REFERENCE ABOUT THE LEGENDARY BLUESMAN, ROBERT JOHNSON AND THE "STORY?" ABOUT HIM SELLING HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL AT THE CROSSROADS - THEY SING IF THE DEVIL IS AT THE CROSSROADS TRYING TO MAKE YOU A DEAL - THEN WALK ON!!! (DON'T TURN TO THE RIGHT OR TURN TO THE LEFT, JUST WALK ON!!!) (THIS ONE HAS BEEN ON THE COMTEMPORARY SOUTHERN GOSPEL CHARTS FOR WEEKS, IT'S A GREAT HIT!!!)



BARBIE BANDAIDS (ABOUT CHILDREN GROWING UP)

THROUGH THE VALLEY

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL (THERE'S A STORY BEHIND THIS SONG ALSO!)

I BRING IT TO YOU

HE TOUCHED ME

HEROES (ABOUT SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN)

THAT'S ALRIGHT BY ME

FREIND TO THE END

LOVE IS A CROSS YOU BEAR

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

THE ONE I'M DYING FOR

THE LOVE OF GOD

HE AIN'T NEVER DONE ME NOTHIN' BUT GOOD (A EXCELLENT END ALL SONG!!!!)



THIS IS COMTEMPORARY GOSPEL BLUEGRASS AT ITS VERY BEST, SO IF YOU LIKE THIS KINDA MUSIC, YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE, AND I THAT CONTEXT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
