Rudy Atwood was the pianist of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour from 1937 until 1969. He died in 1992, shortly before his 80th birthday. Many attended the live broadcasts of the OFRH at the Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California, just to watch Rudy play. His treble arpeggios and octave bass runs added a Bach-like accompaniment as his hands seemingly flew across the keyboard.

Rudy Atwood has often been called the Dean of Gospel Pianists and at least two generations of church pianists have emulated his distinctive style.

This double length CD album is a re-issue of two albums that Rudy recorded in the late 1950's. It has been digitally re-mastered to bring to life all the beauty of the original recording.

Providing the beautiful orchestrations on this albums is the Ralph Carmichael String Quartet, bringing a wonderful orchestral to Rudy's keyboard styling.

Ralph Carmichael was a preacher's kid who grew up to be a musician, composer and conductor with an enviable reputation in both the sacred and the secular fields. 

His spiritual roots are apparent in much of his music. He is equally at home with traditional church music, contemporary Christian Christian Music and progressive jazz.

His hymns, The Savior Is Waiting and In The stars His Handiwork I See, are represented in most current church hymnals. His amazing talent provides the perfect backdrop for Rudy's piano artistry.
