Editorial Review:
Amazing Grace, a compilation of well-known gospel standards, brings together some of country music's brightest stars. From Lari White's understated delivery of the title track to Martina McBride's mandolin led version of "How Great Thou Art" to the Charlie Daniels Band's soulful rendering of "Kneel at the Cross," Amazing Grace is a real treat for fans of both secular country music and white Southern gospel. Accompanied by a full band including a bittersweet fiddle and a steel guitar, Paul Overstreet kicks up the tempo with "A Mansion Over the Hilltop," while Shenandoah's "Beulah Land" recalls both Glen Campbell's take on high-lonesome balladry as well as the tight harmonies of Alabama. And sung by the sweetest voices of the genre, two of the loveliest tracks on the record are born of the bluegrass gospel tradition: "I'd Rather Have Jesus" and "Precious Memories," performed by Alison Krauss and the Cox Family and Emmylou Harris, respectively. --Paige La Grone
Amazing Grace - A Country Salute to Gospel, Vol. 1 Reviews:
Wonderful Country Gospel album 
2009-04-02 - Amazing Grace (A country salute to gospel) is a great gospel music for those who grew up on gospel and like country music artists.
However, the artists that are listed above for this album are not correct. For example, "I'd Rather Have Jesus" is by Allison Krauss & The Cox Family featuring Suzanne Cox and "Kneel At The Cross" is by Charlie Daniels Band. "Amazing Grace" is by Lari White. "Peace in the Valley" is by John Anderson (*really* good). "Blessed Assurance" is by John Berry (absolutely wonderful). Martina McBride sings "How Great Thou Art." Can you imagine her signing that song? Awesome! "In the Garden" is by Billy Dean & Susan Ashton and is my favorite. "Mansion Over the Hilltop" is by Paul Overstreet. "Beulah Land" by Shenandoah. Emmylou Harris sings "Precious Memories."
Love it....
2008-06-05 - I love this cd. No scratches, however case was broken. But that's not a big deal.
Awesome CD
2008-03-27 - I had this CD once before and it was scratched in
my motorcycle saddlebag. Glad to get the replacement
and what a way to travel on a motorcycle by listening
to gospel songs.
Not Bad At All, 
2006-08-26 - This is a pretty decent cd. The music is beautifully done and it is awesome. It might be a little slow, but it is relaxing. there is only one song i really liked on this cd and it is, Wich Of Couse, Amazing Grace.
Country at its best!
2005-01-29 - This Cd is awesome I've had it for quite some time. Shenandoah does one of my fav versions of Beulah Land. A blessing everytime I listen to it......STILL!
