Synopsis by Mark Deming
One of the legendary vocal groups in Southern gospel music, the Cathedrals decided to retire after 35 years together with a farewell tour in 1999. Their show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville (the home of the Grand Ol' Opry) proved to be a special event with a number of special guests -- among them Sandy Patti, the Statler Brothers, and the Oak Ridge Boys -- stopping by to lend their voices to the legendary quintet. The Cathedrals: A Farewell Celebration was recorded during the Nashville concert and captures the group at their best. Songs include "Farther Along," "Life Will Be Sweeter Someday," "That Day at Calvary," "O, What a Savior," "Life's Railway to Heaven," and more.
