Bishop G E Patterson Singing The Old Time Way Gospel Music CD Review

Bishop G E Patterson Singing The Old Time Way Gospel Music CD Review

Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Singing The Old Time Way gets. Singing The Old Time Way stated simply is one of Bishop G.E. Patterson’s best CDs to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Singing The Old Time Way. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Gospel music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Patterson on several of the tracks. Artists like Alvin Speight and Sylvester Robinson just to name a couple.

I’m of the opinion that Singing The Old Time Way is certainly Bishop G.E. Patterson’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Gospel fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are disc 1, track 13 - Glory Glory Hallelujah, disc 1, track 18 - Jesus Is Mine, and disc 2, track 16 - My Heart Is Fixed My Mind Made Up.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is disc 2, track 15 - How Much I Owe. Outstanding!
