Music Revew of my Ministry Published Online

Review comments from the Editors of http://www.download.com where I have four complete songs up for people to listen from my "Oh, What A Savior" project.
EDITORS REVIEW
"In the tradition of great Southern gospel soloists, Larry Smith carries the torch proudly. His rich baritone voice infuses his traditional songbook with a palpable sense of belief. Fans of gospel greats from the Oak Ridge Boys to Elvis will rejoice.

Review comments from http://www.southerngospelnews.com for my project, "Oh, What A Savior" in their August 1999 online music project reviews. The review is reprinted below. Artist: Larry Smith - Cassette/CD Project: Oh, What A Savior Label: Independent Recorded and Mastered at: Gaither Studios, Alexandria, Indiana Co-Produced By: Roger Byrd / Larry Smith Style: Southern Gospel The songs on this project, “Oh, What A Savior” are powerful. “I’m Glad I Know Who Jesus Is”, “We Shall See Jesus”, and “I’d Rather Have Jesus” are just a few of the great songs included in the lineup. One of my personnal all-time favorites, “There Is A River”, is also thrown in. The last song, “He Could Have Walked On By”, finishes up this cassette. Larry Smith’s love for the Lord shows through as he sings on his latest solo project, “Oh, What A Savior”.

You have a new fan and she won't give me back my tape. I loaned it to a friend of mine and she loves the heart you put into the songs. One in particular really struck her was "Oh, What A Savior" and Oh What a Ministry.
Thanks Larry....

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your version of "There Is a River." It is one of my all time favorite songs. Tears fell from my face as I listened to the song and I experienced a wonderful time of worship with our Lord.
