This special album won both a Dove Award and a Grammy Award - but more importantly, is a heartfelt expression of Ricky Skaggs' faith and commitment. From the opening call to worship to the reverent acapella closing hymn, this album reverberates with the gospel message. "The Darkest Hour" is a special treat, along with the classic "Gone Home," the old Bill Carlisle tune made famous by Flatt & Scruggs in the 1950's. The poignant "Seven Hillsides" speaks to the humanity and spirituality in us all as does the challenging "Are You Afraid to Die", a piece which includes an actual portion from one of Billy Graham's crusades. This album will encourage you, challenge you, and move you - it's the "good news" you've been wanting to hear.
