“He Will Heal the Land”
Rev. Hayward Anderson & the Davis Chorale Singers
Anderson Music Group (release date: August 26, 2024)
By Robert M. Marovich
Traditional gospel choir music delights me every time, and Rev. Hayward Anderson’s “He Will Heal the Land,” with the Davis Chorale Singers, has all the ingredients of an effective choir recording.
From Anderson’s passionate vocals and the choir’s accomplished responses to the dense harmonies and chord changes that catch you off guard, to that quintessential gospel feel, this piece has it all. Add to it a timely message that, in a world tilting off its axis, there is something to believe in.
Born in Alabama, Rev. Hayward Anderson later moved to Connecticut where he founded the Bridgeport Mass Choir.
