catholicinsd Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 "Satan is REAL" by the Louvin Brothers is perhaps the greatest song ever written. Loretta Lynn's "Portland, Oregon is of course a close second.

Luigi Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Simple - even simplistic - but honest and heartfelt and true. Simple, honest, heartfelt, and true reaches some people. And I have [i]ALWAYS[/i] loved close harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Close harmony is nice in secular music. Not really proper to sacred music. Of course, '70s folk pop hymns are about as far away from sacred music as you can get anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord†(Eph. 5:19) Apparently from the earliest days of the Church, hymns were not limited to the interiors of church walls and to liturgical use only. They may not even have been in Latin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
