Programme
The all-American saga of the Annie Moses Band springs to musical life with Tales From My Grandpa’s Pulpit, a magnum opus of story songs, high-color hymns, and a musical autograph bold as John Hancock’s. The studio album and live DVD special bring the Annie Moses Band full circle from their debut at Praise Gathering — nearly twenty years ago — to this: their debut album in the Gaither Gospel series. The music fuses lyrical sweetness with salty edge, drawing on the panorama of Americana. Traditional hymns, like “Shall We Gather at the River” receive expansive treatment in the capable hands of these Juilliard-trained players, while a classic folk-rock aesthetic thunders in the riveting stories of endurance and faith, like the title track “Grandpa’s Pulpit”. Tales From Grandpa’s Pulpit is first-class music-making from the best of the American tradition, a story of truth and tenacity for our times.
