HOW GREAT THOU ART - When Terry
Wogan played Red Hurley’s recording of ‘How Great Thou Art’ on his Radio 2
breakfast show the station was inundated with emails from listeners enthusing
about the record – “Dave the HGV driver on the M27” had to “pull over
while the song was been played it had touched him so much." A subsequent
play a few days later elicited a similarly enthusiastic response from both the
listeners and Terry who pronounced that Red has “a magnificent, tremendous
voice”A prolific
hit maker in his native Ireland,
Red has spent an impressive total of 140 weeks on the Irish charts. During the
last year he has recorded with various choirs in Ireland,
Africa and the U.S.
for the album ‘How Great Thou Art’ which was initially planned as an
American-only release. However due to the phenomenal response the record
company has scheduled a UK
release of the album and title track on September 21st.
Red with his
rich, powerful voice has been compared to many successful contemporary artists
but ‘How Great Thou Art’ highlights Red’s breathtaking, individual performance
perfectly. Without a doubt a song of inspiration and unquestionably a song of peace
and reassuring solace, ‘How Great Thou Art’ is but one example of the treats
that are to be found on this new album. On Dolly Parton’s ‘Hello God’ Red is
accompanied by The All Saints African Choir and Red delivers spine-tingling
versions of traditional classics including ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘You’ll Never
Walk Alone’
Red’s
emerging profile in the U.S.
seems to be the icing on the cake for a career which has taken off in a global
way over the last couple of years. His concerts have been sold out on both
Irish and U.S.
shores and his albums are increasingly well received. His appearances on Irish
and American national television are regular highlights whilst the PBS
television broadcast of his last concert in Dublin introduced him to millions of new fans.
Without doubt
this new album through its inspiring melodies and lyrics will touch emotional
chords for listeners of all ages. As 2009 progresses, Red will continue to
entertain his large fan base around the world through his live shows and media
appearances.
