Details: Amazon.ca It was a divine inspiration for Kate Campbell to take the traditional Baptist hymnal to the Fame Studios (and famed rhythm section) of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The musicians forged a groove that renews the spiritual testament of hymns that predate gospel--the rock upon which Southern soul is built--while the sweet-voiced preacher's daughter contributes some original material in a similar vein of uplift. (Less of a musical fit is the homily-laden "The House You Live In," written by Gordon Lightfoot.) Though her voice lacks the grit so often associated with such fare, the churchy strains of keyboardist Spooner Oldham, Campbell's right-hand man throughout, have never sounded more at home. As arranged by Campbell, centuries-old hymns such as "There Is a Fountain" and "The Prodigal" sound timeless in their stately majesty. --Don McLeese
