I'd Rather Have Jesus

In a musical landscape cluttered with auto-tuned vocals and manufactured beats, George Beverly Shea’s latest release, “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” is a refreshing blast from the past.

But it’s not just Shea’s vocals that shine on this album – the instrumentation is equally impressive. A lush orchestra provides the perfect backdrop for Shea’s soaring melodies, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience from start to finish. So if you’re tired of the same old pop tunes and generic beats, do yourself a favor and give George Beverly Shea’s “I’d Rather Have Jesus” a spin.
