Every music enthusiast is aware of the emotional impact and resonance that a well-chosen song can have on us. This could be happiness, sorrow, hope, or despair. The hair on the back of our necks may stand up, or we may be crying. But few genres can rival country music’s unadulterated emotional impact. Make sure you don’t miss the last note, this has to be one of the greatest live performances of “How Great Thou Art”!
It is unsurprising that when you combine the silky, sultry voice of Carrie Underwood, a powerful harmony and flawless guitar solo by Vince Gill, and the beautiful hymn “How Great Though Art” you won’t have a dry eye in the house. It was certainly the case at ACM’s Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country special in 2011. Although the pair have dueted since this remains their best-loved and most enduring collaboration.
