DVD Reviews of Tennessee Ernie Ford: His Life & Times

DVD Review: A great program by a talented performer.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this primarily for the additional feature tennessee Ernie Ford: Amazing Grace, a program (which also aired on PBS) of excerpts from the Ford show with him and his back up group, the Top Twenty, singing over twenty hymns and spirituals. Ford was as well known for his sacred recordings as he was for his secular music, and was perhaps the best bass baritone singer of gospel music during his lifetime (barring, of course, George Beverly Shea). The main feature is a 35-40 minute biography of his life, and shows when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame by the Oak Ridge boys, which I remember seeing on TV when it happened. If you like listening to someone who can sing, I high recommend you buy this video.

DVD Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

How great to be able to see Tennessee Ernie Ford again! I remember seeing him on television when I was a kid. My wife and I love this DVD! The gospel section is fantastic!
