 Glory Train the new CD by country music superstar, Randy Travis, is comprised of classical hymns and old Negro spirituals like Down by the Riverside. Thomas A. Dorsey the lyricist of Precious Lord Take My Hand and Fredrick Whitfield the writer of Oh How I Love Jesus would be overjoyed to learn that their songs are still being sung in 2005. If you revere singers like Mahalia Jackson or James Cleveland this CD is for you. If you are country music connoisseur the bluegrass tunes will make you feel right at home. The songs are smooth, warm, and heart touching. Many of the nineteen songs on this CD have stood the test of the centuries, and boast melodies and lyrics that still appeal to the heart of man. And Randy Travis is just the man to deliver them with his clear baritone voice that ministers to the listener as he meditates on the words of the songs. Travis is a country singer with a new Christian flair. But whether you are a country fan or not you will truly enjoy his latest release, Glory Train. I know I did
