CD Review: Singing the Classics (Ed O’Neal and the Dixie Melody Boys)
From here on out, when I review CDs, you’ll notice I’ve added categories to classify the CDs. Within the southern gospel genre, there’s variety. Most groups or artists considered southern gospel seem to be what I would classify as inspirational, country, bluegrass or traditional. This CD definitely falls into the latter category.
The Dixie Melody Boys recently put out another CD of timeless classics. Songs included are: “Saved to the Uttermost,” “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power,” “The Longer I Serve Him,” “10,000 Years,” “That’s What Jesus Means to Me,” “Rise Again,” “He Looked Beyond My Fault,” “Through it All,” “The Night Before Easter,” and “There is a River.” Each song has the same familiar arrangements but is unmistakeably DMB.
My favorite songs on the project are “He Looked Beyond My Fault” and “Rise Again” which surprised me that I would like this last song so well. Dallas Holm is not a southern gospel singer but Ed O’Neal and the boys brought the song to life.
