While I don't believe there is anything wrong with the more modern music from a theological perspective, I prefer traditional hymns and sacred music and can hardly stand the modern stuff. I'll take a rousing choral rendition of William Kirkpatrick's "Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah" or Ira Sankey's soulful "Under His Wings," both written in 1899, over the latest rock-flavored "praise" tune any day.

The Old Fashioned Revival Hour Chorus Choir performs some of the finest traditional sacred music around, and their recordings are available here or here.

Thanks.

Sadly, Pastor Les considers the traditional stuff “hoaky.”

I think The Lord is going to adjust him on that given that Les has deliberately laid it all on the altar and wants only what God gives back and supports.

Certainly AMAZING GRACE, BLESSED ASSURANCE ETC. are NOT hoakey!
