10. The Cathedral Quartet With Brass

8. Taller Than Trees
7. Greater
6. Symphony of Praise
5. Live In Atlanta

Let me hear some dissent!!

Nice list.
They started because I've made a commitment to daily posts, and there isn't always news to discuss.

Here's my top 5 picks (not nessisarily in this order):
"The Cathedral Quartet sing Albert E. Brumley Classics"
"The Cathedral Quartet Live In Concert"
"Greater"
"Live With The Cathedral Quartet"
"Oh Happy Day"
Yes, as you can tell, I'm a Roy Tremble fan.
One thing is for sure:they did so many good albums that I could spend hours trying to make a top 5 list.
Good list, somebody. I agree that the Cats didn't make bad recordings very often.
I like the song selection on "I've Just Started Living," but the production, to me, was a bit cheap-sounding.
My collection would include "Cherish That Name." I like the overall sound of this album much better than "Greater." It just sounds cleaner and tighter overall. I also think it has the best rendition of "Canaanland Is Just In Sight."
Thanks for the comment, Kyle.
I didn't think the production on "I've Just Started Living" was cheap sounding at all, but you know how opinions are... Maybe what you are hearing is the somewhat less "orchestration" on that recording compared to other Cat recordings of that era like "Symphony of Praise".
I like "Cherish That Name" very much too.
Thanks again for the comment(s).
For me,
1.Voices in Praise Acappella
2.The Prestigious Cathedral Quartet
3.Live in Atlanta
4.Climbing Higher and Higher
5.Radio Days
