When Libbi Perry Stuffle, beloved alto vocalist for the powerhouse group, The Perrys, announced she was going to record a solo project late last year, fans anxiously awaited, with anticipation for the release. The project titled "Journey" is suberb! Full of strong gospel songs, some familiar to fans of Libbi's and some new great tunes as well as some first class guest vocalists, "Journey" proves to be a fine work from one of southern gospel's most beloved female singers.
The project opens with the familiar "March Around the Throne" with Jeff and Sheri Easter providing background vocals. The classic "Now I Have Everything" includes Mark Trammel, Gerald Wolfe and Tracy Stuffle. These 4 have a special sound when they sing together and it turned out wonderfully. "Still Blessed", "Did I Mention", "The Holy Hills", "God Walks the Dark Hills" and "Mountaintop for Me" are classic songs we've learned to love from Libbi and The Perrys. "His Grace Will Lead Me Home" is one of the strongest songs, I believe Libbi has ever sung. You can hear the conviction in each work she sings of this powerful ballad. I am glad she chose to include it on this project.
One of the most touching moments on the project is the opening of "Reunited" in which you hear the Perry Children, Randy, Debra and Libbi singing "Daddy Sang Bass" as children. Debra and Randy join Libbi on "Reunited" which truly tells the story of the Perry Family. It is definetly a highlight of this project. The family harmony of the three is truly special.
"I'm Not a Failure" is another strong song on the project. Wayne Haun, provides guest vocals and does an outstanding job. "Jesus Hold My Hand" is a familiar song to southern gospel fans. Libbi does a good job with this tune and Daily and Vincent do a fabulous job singing with her! Sisters join Libbi to close out the project on "The Broken Heart Sings the Sweetest Song" which is a sweet, tender song and done beautifully.
If you're a fan of Libbi Perry Stuffle, I encourage you to grab a copy of this project. If you're unfamiliar with Libbi and The Perrys, you need to check it out and you'll become a quick fan. You'll not be disappointed in this CD. Libbi did an outstanding job and proves just why she is such a fan favorite and awarded alto.
