How Sweet the Sound: 25 Favorite Hymns and Gospel Greats Review

by Zac Johnson

Country-rock fiddler Charlie Daniels leads his band through two CDs of religious music on How Sweet the Sound: 25 Favorite Hymns and Gospel Greats. Backed by a full choir, Daniels' gruff road dog image is nowhere to be found on this collection, but stripped-down gems like "Softly and Tenderly" or the bluegrass infused "I'll Fly Away" are tucked in among the big production numbers.
