The Hymns Professor - Bishop Leonard Scott, who has racked up over 30 million digital streams for his down-home gospel renditions of hymns - rides listeners down Memory Lane with a smooth collision of the evergreen hymns “Old Rugged Cross” and “Near the Cross” on “Cross Medley (LIVE).”
With his wife, Christine, on piano, and a polished group of Hoosier musicians backing him, Scott pulls up on a rhapsodic ballad. With an assist from a full-throated 20+ member choir, it revs with a smoldering verse from “The Old Rugged Cross.” Then, organ and a lite rhythm section gas the track as the ensemble shifts gears and intensifies its enunciation of the lyrics on the “Near the Cross” segment of the song. All the while, Scott adlibs and exhorts the congregation to sing along at Indianapolis’ New Way Church. It’s a ride every passenger and fan of traditional gospel will enjoy.
