Thereby, the rather feels like a 1980’s pop Christmas album than a Carrie Underwood masterpiece. It is comparably powerful and even comes with a decent electric guitar solo. How Great Thou Art is one of two gospel interpretations, which last longer than five minutes. On the hand, I just don’t feel the Carrie Underwood energy in this song. It is a bit sad that either one or the other artist is singing – but of course, the twelve time Grammy Award winner Winans would likely overpower Underwood in her musical core discipline.Īfter that powerful collaboration, O How I Love Jesus feels a bit of thin – even though it is one of the nicer interpretations on the album from my point of view.

Great Is They Faithfullness is one of the most impressive songs of the album – it just adds so much value to have a professional gospel singer onboard as well. Finally, this song spreads both, a touch of country and a touch of gospel. Secondly, Carrie Underwood is rather going for some more vocal power in here (instead of a relatively thin and fragile sound in the songs before). There are two reasons for that: the melody of the original gospel is already a quite nice fit to the traditional country music sound. I feel that Victory in Jesus is one of the best songs of the album. It leaves a lovely-sounding country gospel ballad – and the question, why Underwood is doing this. Carrie Underwood can naturally just do one of them. The original interpretation is a four-part song. Reading some information about the original gospels while reviewing the gospel I ran into the notes of Just as I am, which has been written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835. If there weren’t the lyrics, this track rather sounds like a country Christmas song. The powerful high notes have some surprising impreciseness. Carrie does a nice job here interpreting this 1876 original – but as a solo artist, she has no chance to reach the real power of a gospel choir.īlessed Assurance is interpreted with acoustic guitar only. But to me, it gospel is an amazing genre, because it is driven by a group of people with powerful voices. Nothing But the Blood of Jesus is however already a quite characteristic song for the whole album: Carrie Underwood indeed has a lovely voice and she ads some country music sprinkles on the frosting of this gospel tart. I won’t go too much into the detail of the background of every gospel in the album – I am not religious and thus would spoil some of the stories anyway. The album starts with a one minute harmonica instrumental intro. The thirteen song album lasts 49 minutes. Carrie Underwood – My Savior – Track by Track
