Songs of the South III: Traditional Hymns and Spirituals is our third solo piano recording of songs from the American South. Much of this region’s enduring heritage comes from its rich musical tradition, and in this recording,

Jim Gibson has selected sixteen much-loved traditional hymns and African-American Spirituals that have been important to Southern families for generations.

From What Wondrous Love is This? to Precious Lord, Take My Hand, you’ll hear a new approach–quiet and reverent, but also interestingly creative–to these classic songs of faith.

Songs of the South III CD cover In these solo piano improvisations, Jim brings a unique approach to these old melodies–usually quiet, but sometimes with the power of an old-time pianist in the fervor of a revival service.

If you grew up in the South, you likely know these songs. You probably sang them in church, or at camp. Maybe you heard them at revival services . . . or heard your family sing them around the house.

Here’s the thing: today, much music–even church music–is a “throwaway product” that won’t last very long, and that’s a pity.

Compare this ‘throwaway music’ with these thirteen songs that have been around for generations . . . and when you hear these simple but powerful melodies, you’ll understand why they live on and on.
