5 out of 5 stars Incredible!.......2006-12-07

There is nothing to dislike about this CD. A friend made me listen to it several years ago, against my will. But I had to listen to it again and again, and now it's a Thanksgiving staple in my household, or pretty much anytime I want to feel good about God and Country. The arrangement of My Shepherd Will Supply My Need makes me weep, and the Battle Hymn of the Republic makes me stand up and cheer.

5 out of 5 stars Buy this if you love choral music.......2006-11-30

This recording is stunning. I first saw the PBS concert and was blown away by many of the numbers. "Abide With Me" and "How Can I Keep From Singing" are fantastic and this arrangement of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is unsurpassed. It is dramatic and beautiful. If you love choral music you won't be disappointed. BYU has an amazing choral program from the sounds of this.

Album Description

Featuring "Homeward Bound" from the tribute to the troops, "Until Then."

The legendary choral textures of the various BYU choirs are showcased in this beautiful new collection of favorite melodies centered around the idea of home. Produced by directors Ronald Staheli and Rosalind Hall, The Road Home features the Concert Choir, University Singers, Men's Chorus and Women's Chorus, and in some cases all the choirs combined into a majestic grand chorus.

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational!.......2007-02-12

I just love this CD. It is so soothing. I originally heard it on a slideshow, and had to do some research to find it. So glad I did!

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Road Home.......2006-08-08

This CD presents a beautiful balance of women's voices, men's voices, and combined voices in various choirs supported by orchestra and other accompaniment. This road home is well worth taking.

5 out of 5 stars Homeward Bound.......2005-08-06

I purchased "The Road Home" because of the 1st titled song, "Homeward Bound" by the BYU choir. It is the accompagniment to an internet collage of U.S. soldiers in
Iraq and it fits beautifully. The entire collection of songs on "The Road Home" is very soothing as well as inspiring. It
reminds me of the beauty and power of human voices singing in harmony. I recommend it to anyone with a love of rich and powerful music.

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring Music-The Road Home.......2005-03-18

This contains a wonderful and inspiring group of selections and is very well done. The title number accompanies an extremely good picture montage by GCS Distributing.Com which contains pictures of the military in Iraq and is a great emotion grabber. This album is well worth buying and listening to over and over.

        This album is absouletly amazing. I have tried to find this album in several music stores and it is extremely hard to find. I have searched for almost three years therefore, you can see how important it was that I'd purchased this album. Yolanda Adams is phenomenal on this album although my favorite track is " Any Way You Bless Me Lord" this song is really up lifting and as I said earlier this was diffenately worth the wait.
        God Bless!
