I didnt get to come to the singing April 2024 like I had planned. I had a medical issue. But I sure did miss coming. I love the Redback book. I have one on my piano. Our Baptist church was using the old second version of the Baptist Hymnal back years ago and I got to go to a church in Chattanooga that had the Redback. I fell in love with it because it had Victory In Jesus and ours did'nt. The new Baptist Hymnal has it now many years later. But having that hymnal I really got to liking it. Maybe I can make the next singing. I would love to drive down from Nashville to enjoy this awesome singing. Praise the Lord.
I’m with you!! My church has gone to modern church music with the “Praise Team”. Unfortunately, only the praise team can sing the songs!! I WISH we would sing hymns! I despise their music! If I wanted to hear “Rock music”, I’d go to rock concert!!!
I would like to add some more info about the Gardendale singing you have videoed. The choir that appears is NOT from Gardendale First Baptist...instead, it is a group of gospel singers and musicians who live all over the southeast states. Many of these singers/players are semi-professionals in the field of gospel music. As to the red back hymnal...back in 1951, the Church of God (Cleveland Tenn.) at that time did not have an official hymnal for COG use. Therefore, a group from the COG headquarters put together this group of convention-type gospel songs which is what is now known as the red back hymnal. The gospel hymns of this collection were taken from gospel convention-type songs used at camp meetings and revivals. This book was used by the COG up until the mid-1980s when the COG decided to go to contemporary music as the standard for the COG. Now, the COG mainly uses contemporary music. The red back hymnal which was produced by the Tennessee Music and Printing Company of Cleveland, Tennessee is still sold in various venues and is available in other formats than the original hymnal format. Across the southern states, this hymnal is used by Baptist churches as a source of gospel songs, which is surprising since the COG no longer favors its own creation. Any gospel music fan or performer will always have a copy of the red back since it covers the very inception of convention-type gospel songs.
Thank you for praising our Saviour. Sharing God's love here with us. Be a blessing, God bless. I love old hymns. Thank you for sharing.
This is the 3rd hymnal sing. So glad that I can hear the choir. The others I could hear the men up front that had the Mike almost entirely. Very good.

I posted a video of the 2024 singing if you would like to go watch it. I hope you get to feeling better and can come in 2025.
