-----------March 10, 2007CD Review: Gospel Harmony Boys (I Believe) A Nutshell Review RATING: 2 Stars Website: www.gospelharmonyboys.org Producer: Michael Bloomfield Songs: "Glad Glad Morning," "Heaven's Streets," "Grandma's Graduation Day," "There's A Certain Kind Of Certainty," "Glory And Praise," "He's My Dearest Friend," "The Best Is Yet To Come," "Still Be Believing," "Leading To Calvary," "All My Labors Will Be O're (sic)," "I Believe," "So I Gave My Heart To Him," "He Hideth My Soul," and "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" I Believe by the Gospel Harmony Boys has a promising start with the upbeat "Glad, Glad Morning" and a 1970s styled track titled "Heaven's Streets." After that, the quality is less consistent. "Grandma's Graduation Day" suffers from a cheesy lyric and a poor vocal mix. "There's A Certain Kind Of Certainty" could have been done with no artificial brass. "Glory And Praise" is an inspirational track that may go over well in a concert setting. Perfectly suiting the group vocally, "He's My Dearest Friend" has a nice mid-tempo track with a classic orchestration. The music theorist in me perked up when the thirteenth chord with the added ninth was sung so tastefully at the end. A special moment like that may make it worth your time to check out I Believe. Of the remaining eight tracks, one I'd classify as pretty good ("Leading To Calvary") and one ("Still Be Believing") as not very good. I had a lukewarm reaction to the other six. One other thing I noticed was a number of incorrectly spelled names and words on the back cover. Labels: CD Review posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:11:00 PM
