“Heaven”
Troy Sneed
From the Emtro Gospel CD In Due Season
www.emtro.com
Gospel music is resplendent with pastoral images of the Great Beyond. “Heaven,” the third single from Troy Sneed’s successful In Due Season album, offers yet another hopeful vision.
Sneed’s is a tunefully happy, anticipatory evocation of the place where the streets are paved with gold and the singer can seek out his relatives, but who does he really want to meet face to face? Listen to find out.
Towards the conclusion, Sneed off-handedly renders snippets of good old homegoing hymns to hammer home his point: death is not dying but a transition to the promised Great Day.
