I and my wife Sheila record for the Smithsonian
Institution, and our travels as old-time music entertainers take us on
some magnificent adventures. We were asked to perform some old-time
rural gospel songs on the first Gospel Bash in Stewartville, Minnesota,
and it was an experience to say the least. One of the groups on the
bill was a kind of bluegrass/country band called the Knight
Family. Adam Knight of that family writes and produces some of the most
interesting gospel music I’ve heard in a long time. This particular CD
takes us on a musical journey containing some old time gospel, but also
some ‘new’ gospel that directs us to the conditions we are living in
today, examining the amazing things happening before our very eyes as
the old planet earth continues to revolve, awaiting the return of the
one Lord Jesus Christ to appear before His subjects. Adam expresses in
his words exactly what is happening in the Christian world today. We
are in a battle. That is obvious, and the ‘battle’ is good against
evil. Even though evil seems to be winning the battle today, the ‘war’
is far from over, and we all know how that is going to turn out. We are
reminded, on this CD, that we MUST hold our ground, our beliefs, our
upbringing, our Christian teaching. We MUST try to save as many of our
brethren as we can, we MUST abide by the Lord Jesus, and we MUST stand
patiently, together and strongly. Music is a way to do this, and in the
case of the Knight Family, it is done amazingly well. They are very
passionate about their messages, and the music that contains the
messages. All of the instrumentation on this CD is very very good, but
it is the voices that bring the message to it’s true destination, the
minds of fellow Christians and even those that aren’t so sure who they
are what they are. The ‘power of the blood’ is obvious in the mind and
music of Adam Knight. He is putting on the whole and entire armour of
God as he enters his own battle field. We not only approve and applaud
him, we are standing behind him every step of the way. We’ll be sending
this CD to the Rural Roots Music Commission to see if there is a
“Gospel CD of the Year” award lingering somewhere in their selection
process.
