Family Bible

CD 0040

As Scotland's leading singer/songwriter and broadcaster Gerry Ford is known far and wide. Currently celebrating 28 years as a professional entertainer, Gerry has appeared all round the U.K. and has performed on 21 occasions at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville as guest of legendary country singer Jean Shepard. Gerry has presented radio programs on BBC Radio Scotland, Radio 2 including guest presenter of the long running Country Club, as well as Glasgow Country 105 and Clan F.M. in Lanarkshire.

Family Bible is Gerry's most recent release leaning heavily towards his Gospel strengths bringing about a moist eye or setting the feet a-tapping with an assembly of inspirational songs. Family Bible contains 12 tracks with Gerry being joined by long-standing friend, Grand Ole Opry member Jean Shepard for a medley of five songs, "Let's All Go Down To The River", "I'll Fly Away", "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", "I Saw The Light" and "Somebody Touched Me".

Gerry offers a little Christian soul to lift your spirits with the heartfelt "Lord I'd Forgotten" and Gail Davies' "Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You". A real country stormer comes in the form of "One Of These Days". Superbly sung, "Jesus I Need To Talk To You" sees a young lad drawing inner strength while missing his departed mom. Boxcar Willie specially wrote the song for Gerry. Also find Paul Overstreet/Paul Davis' song "What God Has Joined Together".

Soak up the musical magic and rejoice in the Gospel sounds of earthy tones, seeing a fine selection of musicians supporting Gerry and his gentle relaxing style. Capable and up to the mark, Gerry travels the rocky road of emotional soul searching songs. Just hop aboard the Glory Train with Gerry Ford and Family Bible…an up-lifting album worthy to grace a corner of anyone's record collection.
