Church in the Wildwood

Roger Bennett
Traditional/Independent

For many years, Roger Bennett has been recognized as one of the leading pianists in southern gospel music. Part of that achievement has been earned through Roger’s commitment to the traditional elements of southern gospel music that many fans clamor for. That commitment comes shining through on Roger’s latest instrumental, “Church in the Wildwood.”

There are 10 songs found on this collection — and all of them are from the days of the covered-dish Sunday afternoon gatherings at the little country church under sunny skies. Roger successfully “Bennettizes” some grand old classics like “What a Happy Time,” “Church in the Wildwood,” “Sing Your Blues Away,” “Power in the Blood,” “I’ll Meet You in the Morning,” “Old Fashioned Meeting,” “It Is No Secret,” “Tell Me the Story of Jesus,” “Stepping in the Light” and “Angel Band.” It’s a very pleasurable listening experience that you’ll encounter with this 31-minute recording.
