Well I thought about purchasing this album until I downloaded “John In The Jordan” and “Get Away Jordan.” I can’t stand either song. Guess that’s why I’m not an SSQ fan.

Hi, Daniel. I’m the co-writer of “It Is Done” on this project. I am thrilled with Ernie and Signature Sound’s recording of this song. We didn’t write it with “It is Finished” in mind; however, I love the arrangement. I agree with you, they made it work. When Bill Gaither’s office called and asked me if they could add a piece of his song to “It is Done”, I was thrilled. Thank you for the kind review. I thought your critique of the album was very insightful. I love the cd and am thrilled to have one of my songs, written with Sue Smith, done so beautifully. God bless you, Daniel.

That is a fascinating historical detail. It would be hard to make the case that Ernie doesn’t pay attention to our appreciate his Southern Gospel heritage.

I finally got to listen to the CD and your review is quite accurate.

As to “Get Away Jordan”: I think that SSQ’s version of this song is much more akin to the jazz/soul/gospel stylings of the group Take 6 than the version associated with the Dove Brothers.

SSQ embodies more of a soulful approach to the song than does the Dove Brothers. By the way, you would have no trouble understanding the words to the song if you listened to Take 6.

I wish I could remember where I read the review that mentions Ernie’s ministry moment during the reprise of “Get Away Jordan”. Other than the fact that Ernie mentions George Younce, it’s almost a word for word account of Hovie Lister’s sermonizing after singing the song at the 1957 National Quartet Convention. Everything old is new again!

Ron – I have the DVD and will review it soon.

Hannah, as a matter of fact, “Until We Fly Away” is already growing on me since I wrote the review.

Good review of an excellent project. Your comments were spot on.

Now, get the DVD and you’ll see why EHSSQ is the big thing right now.
