American Idol season 4 winner Carrie Underwood has recorded her first-ever gospel LIVE performance DVD, My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman.
Filmed at the Ryman Auditorium, known around the world as “The Mother Church of Country Music,” the country music singer brings her best-selling studio album My Savior (Capitol Records Nashville) to life on that legendary stage with performances of traditional gospel hymns Carrie grew up singing such as “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art.”
The DVD will be released internationally on July 23.
This is an album I have always wanted to record, says Carrie
“This is an album I have always wanted to record and I’m thrilled to be able to bring these uplifting, inspirational songs to life in this special way,” says Carrie of My Savior. Other highlights of the Ryman concert include a duet with CeCe Winans, the best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, on the classic hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”
