Top 100: #18 20 Inspirational Favorites (Greater Vision)

Release Year: 1993

Album Rank for Group: #4 of 13

Here’s a blurb: 20 Inspirational Favorites is a collection comprised of classics, hymns, and songs previously performed by Gerald Wolfe and Mark Trammell with the Cathedrals.  But don’t let that fact fool you.  When in the hands of the greatest trio blend in the history of gospel music, these songs are sung better than you will ever hear them.  Call it blasphemy if you will, but I actually prefer the Greater Vision version to the Cathedrals version on several of these covers, including “Land of Living,” “Homeland,” and “He Saw What I Could Be.”  To me the only negatives on the recording are the Cathedrals covers that don’t sound much different vocally from the original (See “I could honestly do without”).  But overall, this is just a flat out awesome collection that will have you singing along from beginning to end.  The medley of Mark Trammell-penned choruses to close the project is one of my favorite Greater Vision performances of all time.

Knock my socks off: He’s My Lord/What Will You Do for Jesus, He Saw What I Could Be, Land of Living, Homeland, Well Done My Child

Don’t skip that one: Jesus Is Here, What a Meeting, While Endless Ages Roll, I’m Persuaded to Believe, Sheltered in the Arms of God

I could honestly do without: Master Builder, Scars and Stripes, Champion of Love
