THOUGHTS:
Aaron Gray and Josh Arnett, lifelong friends and fellow carpenters, have taken the nation by storm with their smooth Country Gospel harmonies. These two hard working everyday men started singing together while working on houses. One work day they decided to record one of their singing sessions and the rest is history! Millions of people have viewed their various YouTube videos and they have gained National attention having appeared on Fox News in New York. Now, Aaron and Josh are here with a brand new recording and concert video hosted by Bill Gaither featuring classic Gospel songs done in their unique style. Also, they share their testimonies and how God has blessed them in their everyday lives.
The duo’s incredible harmonies really shine through on a great mix of classic Southern Gospel classics as a few lesser known tunes including: “Amazing Grace,” “It Is No Secret,” and “Because He Lives.” Particular highlights for me include the emotion filled Country style ballad “Wine Into Water,” the groovy “He Saw What I Could Be,” and the classic “Mary, Did You Know?.” However, there were a few songs that truly moved me. Josh Arnett was featured on one of my all time favorite Gaither Vocal band songs “There’s Alway A Place At The Table,” which beautifully reminds listeners that no matter what you’ve done, you are welcome at God’s table. His transforming Grace and Mercy is available to all if you believe! Another highlight was the duo’s powerful rendition of the Crabb Family classic “Through The Fire,” which reminds us of God’s promise to never leave us or forsake us. No matter the storm, He will be with you leading you through it. Aaron Gray’s powerful tenor is on full display on this track especially toward the end where he hits and incredible high note. The CD and DVD close with the song that put them on the map so to speak. The duo delivers a beautiful version of the powerful hymn “How Great Thou Art.”
FINAL THOUGHTS:
THE SINGING CONTRACTORS ARE THE REAL DEAL! GREAT HARMONIES, TIMELESS SONGS, AND THE POWERFUL MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL ARE ON FULL DISPLAY ON THIS FANTASTIC CD AND DVD PAIR. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF CLASSIC HYMNS, GO AND GET THIS PROJECT ASAP!
