Comment:

Country music has always drawn inspiration from the United States' Bible-rooted heritage. Legends like Hank Williams and Elvis Presley made hymns and original gospel tunes a vital part of their repertoire. Today, Randy Travis, Alison Krauss, and similar talents continue this tradition with passion and grace. Rekindle the spark of that old-time religion with these Christian country tunes.
