Top 100: #44 Goin’ in Style (Cathedrals)

Release Year: 1988

Album Rank for Group: #5 of 13

Here’s a blurb: The follow-up to the Cathedrals’ landmark Symphony of Praise recording was this one, which was also the last before Gerald Wolfe left for his solo career.  Like the album before it, Goin’ in Style was produced by Lari Goss, but this one takes a markably different approach.  This album is comprised mostly of up-tempo songs, with only “Daystar” possibly being classified as a power ballad.  This project doesn’t have as many real standout songs as the ones surrounding it in the Cathedrals’ discography, but it is one of the deepest in terms of songs that I enjoy.

Knock my socks off: I Can See the Hand

Don’t skip that one: Goin’ in Style, I’m Feeling Fine, Come On and Ride This Train, Sin Will Take You Farther, Back to Bethel, Hold Me, Daystar, God Is God

I could honestly do without: Remind Me of Calvary
