Nashville, TN – RCA Records Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry have come together to celebrate and showcase the amazing gospel music
that is performed regularly at the Grand Ole Opry each year by country music's biggest stars. This unique collection features twelve
gospel songs recorded live at the Grand Ole Opry by artists including Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels Band with
Third Day’s Mac Powell, Sara Evans, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Patty Loveless, Loretta Lynn, Ronnie Milsap, Brad
Paisley, Ricky Skaggs and The Whites, and Carrie Underwood. How Great Thou Art: Gospel Favorites Live From The Grand Ole Opry will be
released on February 5, 2008 on RCA Records.
"When I was asked to be a part of this project, I wanted to choose a classic song that had stood the test of time," shares Carrie Underwood. "I wanted a standard gospel song that has really touched people."
How Great Thou Art features standard gospel classics including "I'll Fly Away," "Give Me Jesus," "Old Rugged Cross," and "How Great Thou Art," among others. Many country artists grew up singing in church as their first experience with music, so being a part of this project is a natural fit for many of today’s country music stars.
"I grew up singing gospel tunes right out of the hymnal at our church," explains Sara Evans. "Historically, gospel music has played a large part in the Grand Ole Opry and I am very honored to be a part of this album."
The December 28 edition of USA Today profiled the album and quoted Third Day’s Mac Powell on his participation in the “I'll Fly Away” recording with the Charlie Daniels Band, "I grew up listening to Charlie Daniels and singing in church," says Powell. "This duet is one of the highlights of my career."
