In January of 2001, Country Generations returned from Nashville,
where they mixed and recorded their first original CD, "The Bottom Line". The
members of the group were responsible for writing and composing 11 of the 12 songs. The
blend of the naivete and exhilaration of youth, melded with the wisdom and traditional
ethics of the elders is a magical mix that brings harmony to the group and family members.
Moreover, it brings harmony to the music itself.
You can call me prejudice, but among my favorite songs on "The
Bottom Line" is "My Kind Of Country". Yeah, OK... the name instantly caught
my eye... how could it not? ... but it doesn't end there. It's simply a great song, well
written, well sung and well produced... well done, Country Generations! Another of my
favorites, loving ballads as I do is "Dream On". As the singer croons on about
the love he longs for, a haunting voice in the background, as though you can hear his
thoughts, croons, "dream on...". Beautifully done and filled with the sentiment
that we can all relate to at any age.
Country Generations didn't stop with one jam packed album of great
country music, there's a second CD filled with old time favorite Gospel Hymns,
appropriately titled, "Gospel Favorites". While I can't showcase every
song, I want to list the titles so you'll be able to choose your favorites. "Jesus
Walked", "Mountain Railroad", "In The Garden", "Amazing
Grace", Will The Circle Be Unbroken", "His Hand In Mine",
"Grampa", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", Sing You Children, Sing" and
last but not least, "How Great Thou Art". I feel they had a great selection of
gospel songs that appeal to us all, making this a very nice album for your collection.
"The Bottom Line"... Country Generations,
family and friends, will make you feel a part of the fold as you wrap yourself up in their
music. Enjoy!
