-----------February 23, 2007DVD Review: Ernie Haase And Signature Sound (Get Away, Jordan) RATING: 4 1/2 Stars BUY IT! Website: www.erniesigsound.com Producers: Bill Gaither, Ernie Haase Songs: "Someday," "He's My Guide," "Our Debts Will Be Paid," "Lovest Thou Me (More Than These?)," "Dem Bones," "He Made A Change," "Happy Birthday, Anniversary Too," "I Sing The Mighty Power Of God" (by the Ball Brothers), "It Is Done," "Pray For Me," "Get Away, Jordan," "Search Me, Lord" (by the Gaither Vocal Band), "Home" (by the Gaither Vocal Band), "He Touched Me" (featuring GVB with EH&SS), "John In The Jordan," "I Pledge My Allegiance," "The Star-Spangled Banner," "God Bless America," "What God Says," "Until We Fly Away," "Softly And Tenderly" (by Roy Webb)," and "Oh, What A Savior" I'll go ahead and get the bragging out of the way. In terms of production value and visual appeal, Get Away Jordan is the best DVD I've ever seen a Southern Gospel artist release. Seriously. Every artist ought to consider this to be the standard by which other video projects are measured. Now, I'm not saying it's the very best collection of songs I've ever seen assembled for a video, and of course, there's some "white boy wanna dance" moments that are good for a few chuckles. EH&SS also has some sort of fixation on throwing (and shooting) confetti into the crowd. What I AM saying is that taken as a whole, Get Away Jordan simply looks fantastic on the screen. The stage, the lighting, backdrops, vivid color balance, creative camera moves, and video editing are as good as it gets. I've already posted a review of the CD version of this title, so there's no need to rehash opinions I've previously expressed. All the songs from the CD except "Beyond The Blues" and "The Plan Of Salvation" are included on the DVD. Songs featuring EH&SS on the DVD that aren't on the CD include "Dem Bones," "God Bless America," "What God Says" and a great Dianne Wilkinson song titled "Pray For Me." Ryan Seaton can't pull it off quite as convincingly as Arthur Rice does with the Kingdom Heirs, but this audience doesn't know and doesn't care. "Dem Bones" is a lot of fun. "God Bless America" helps to more fully flesh out a patriotic segment in the video, in contrast to the CD where the two patriotic songs felt tacked on for good measure. The Gaither Vocal Band and the Ball Brothers are on hand for a few songs. EH&SS join the GVB for "He Touched Me." Pianist Roy Webb is featured on the traditional hymn, "Softly And Tenderly." There's a number of bonus features included on the DVD in addition to the 100 minutes of concert footage. One segment features Haase in his Elvis gear. By the way, "John In The Jerdun/Jordan" is included with the regular concert footage, but it's not performed on stage. It's actually a fun/cheesy concept video filmed beside a river (obviously not the real Jordan River) with some bad lip syncing. It helps add variety to the concert footage, though. Get Away, Jordan is a "must buy" for all EH&SS fans. Although artists are recording fewer and fewer live audio CDs these days, it's great to see there's a demand for live concert recordings. I enjoyed watching the DVD more than listening to the CD. BUY IT! Labels: DVD Review posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:32:00 PM
