Top 100: #52 Master Builder (Cathedrals)

Release Year: 1986

Album Rank for Group: #6 of 13

Here’s a blurb: Master Builder finds the Cathedrals in the middle of their glory days, but in one way, it was the end of an era.  It was the last of a string of studio projects produced by Bill Gaither; the quartet would famously call on Lari Goss to produce their next major studio recording, and more after that.  This album sounds terrific, with great tracks and stellar vocals.  There are some very strong songs here, but also more weaker songs in my opinion than on the forthcoming Goss albums.  Bonus points for the great, classy album cover!

Knock my socks off: Sinner Saved by Grace, Master Builder

Don’t skip that one: Plan of Salvation, The Rocks Shall Not Cry Out, Can He Could He Would He, Into His Presence

I could honestly do without: I Just Can’t Make It by Myself.  Am I the only one who has trouble finding the melody on this one?
