I'd Rather Have Jesus
[ CD / Album ]

In a musical landscape cluttered with auto-tuned vocals and manufactured beats, George Beverly Shea’s latest release, “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” is a refreshing blast from the past. The octogenarian crooner proves that age is just a number as he delivers soulful and heartfelt renditions of classic hymns with the same passion and power as he did decades ago. From the moment Shea opens his mouth, it’s clear that this isn’t just any ordinary gospel album. His rich, velvety voice effortlessly soars through each track, carrying listeners on a spiritual journey that’s both uplifting and inspiring. Tracks like “How Great Thou Art” and “Amazing Grace” showcase Shea’s incredible vocal range and emotional depth, reminding us of the power of faith and the beauty of traditional hymns. But it’s not just Shea’s vocals that shine on this album – the instrumentation is equally impressive. A lush orchestra provides the perfect backdrop for Shea’s soaring melodies, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience from start to finish. So if you’re tired of the same old pop tunes and generic beats, do yourself a favor and give George Beverly Shea’s “I’d Rather Have Jesus” a spin. It’s music for the soul, music for the heart – and most importantly, music for the ages.
