"Strum the Gospel"
Bob Strum has a unique approach to Gospel music - he hears it with
jazz chords! His 12 string A6th tuning sounds rich and beautiful
on slow tunes, but when the band picks up the tempo, it really swings.
Here's what the steel guitar community has been saying about it:
I have been playing your new CD. I want to say to all: this CD
should be in your collection. Great song selection. Great execution
and tone ... I would like to know where you found those chords.
They are not on my guitar. And the back-up band is really superb.
-Rob Parker
Folks, this one is a keeper! Bob is a specialist on the A6th
tuning, influenced by Herb Remington. They are personal friends
and toured Switzerland doing shows a couple years back. If you
want to hear some great gospel steel outside the E9th format,
ranging from up-tempo numbers in swing/jazz mode, to slow inspirational
hymns,this one is for you. Super chordal progressions, great band
and good mix.
-Fred Layman
An incredible collection of fine gospel songs and played so masterfully
by Bob. His studio musicians were tremendous and they complimented
him so very tastefully. All in all, this CD is a must for everyone's
collection. I, for one, am looking forward to playing some of
the cut's at the Dallas show and the Indy Gospel show in May.
Thanks Bob for the many hours of fine listening that I will have.
-Roy Rosetta
While the CD is 100% instrumental, Bob included the lyrics of all
of the songs for inspiration. I'm glad that he did, because several
of the songs were new to me. All in all, this a very pleasant CD
to listen to.
