It may seem like sacrilege to describe a gospel album as sexy, but David Houston’s performances of sacred standards on David are intensely sensual and soulful. Produced by the forward-looking Billy Sherrill and backed by the Jordanaires, David is a rarity among the sacred albums cranked out in profusion by major country artists in that it takes well-known spirituals and transforms them into something surprisingly new and compelling. He prolongs “Were You There” into five aching minutes of religious ecstasy, and revives “The Milky White Way”–one of Elvis Presley’s best gospel numbers–without echoing The King.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Houston_(singer)
