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 US 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 released the album and the title track in the UK.
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.
