14-Track Album Showcases Down Home, Old-School Gospel Hits By Today’s Top Gospel Artists And Hits Stores Everywhere January 26, 2010

FAIRFAX, VA; Time Life’s latest gospel release proves that traditional black gospel music is making a big comeback. The new single-disc retail version of the hugely successful double-disc, Shoutin’ Down the Aisles, has debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart.

The Shoutin’ Down the Aisles retail release is rocking the church rafters. Opening with Vickie Winans’ 1997 smash “As Long As I Got King Jesus,” the collection takes on the aura of a Pentecostal church service with such up-tempo favorites as Fred Hammond’s “Jesus Be a Fence Around Me”, the Chicago Mass Choir’s “Holy Ghost Power” with Lemmie Battles’ earth-quaking hoops and hollers, Jimmy Hick’s “Born Blessed”, Shirley Caesar & Tonex’s “I Know the Truth”, Keith Wonderboy Johnson’s quartet staple “Let and Let God” and Bryan Wilson & the Bapolstogic band’s burner “If You’re Talking About Jesus.”

There are equally moving mid-tempo tracks such as Marvin Sapp’s bluesy “You Brought Me”, Candi Staton & Dottie People’s country boogaloo “Shut Up and Start Praying”, The Rance Allen Group’s 1991 Top 40 R&B crossover hit “Miracle Worker”, Alvin Darling & Celebration’s infectious call-and-response gem “All Night” about Jacob’s midnight tussle with an angel and Kirk Franklin’s bass-walker, “He Can Handle It.” The album is rounded out by two bonus cuts not featured on the previous Shoutin’ set. The Blind Boys of Alabama’s rootsy “Down in the Hole” and Deniece Williams’ praise jam “Glory to Glory to Glory” complete this must have album for any fan of traditional gospel music.
