CD Review: Journey (Libbi Perry Stuffle)
The long-awaited solo project from one of southern gospel’s favorite ladies, Libbi Perry Stuffle, has finally been released. Great songs and guest appearances by Jeff & Sheri Easter, Gerald Wolfe, Mark Trammell, Wayne Haun, Dailey & Vincent, Randy Perry, Debra Perry Reed, and Sisters are reasons you will want to add this to your collection.
“March Around the Throne” is a great song to begin the CD. A lively, uptempo song with a tambourine. As I listen, I can picture dancing at Christ’s throne in worship of Him.
The pace then slows down to a heart-felt rendition of “Now I Have Everything.”
Long-time listeners of the Perrys will remember the song, “Still Blessed” but the message is timeless.
A highlight for me was “Daddy Sang Bass/Reunited” on which Randy Perry and Debra Perry Reed joined Libbi. It starts with an old recording of “Daddy Sang Bass” and then flows into “Reunited.” I remember the Perrys with Tracy, Libbi, Randy and Debra so I was eager to hear this song and still get blessed listening to it.
Two songs I was especially glad to see included on this project are “God Walks the Dark Hills” and “Holy Hills of Heaven.” With Vestal Goodman and Dottie Rambo in Heaven, it’s nice the songs are still living and Libbi does a great job on them.
Dailey & Vincent join Libbi on “Jesus, Hold My Hand.”
Another song that really ministers to me is “I Fail, but I’m Not a Failure.” I need to be reminded of that at times.
“Did I Mention” is a song of testimony to God’s faithfulness. “I love Him. That’s all I want to say” pretty much sums it up.
“Mountaintop for Me” is another song of encouragement. No matter how long the valley or how deep the river, rest assured that God has a mountaintop for you.
“His Grace Will Lead Me Home” talks about the Christian’s journey, and what a wonderful journey it is.
“Broken Heart Sings the Sweetest Song” is a very well-written song of encouragement reminding us that “there is hope.”
