Some tunes are experienced in the soul rather than simply physically heard. With Carrie Underwood’s rendition of Great Is Thy Faithfulness including CeCe Winans, music turns into a spiritual experience. Pure worship, rife with unprocessed emotion and stunning vocals, are recorded live at the famed Ryman Auditorium.
Carrie’s voice flies with elegance and honesty from the very first note, thereby starting the scene for something really amazing. After that, the song achieves a totally new level with CeCe Winans singing along. Their melodies interplay naturally and together they provide an intense and emotional homage to hope, faith, and thankfulness. Though it is a display of absolute musical prowess that will long be remembered, one need not be religious to appreciate the beauty of this performance.
