Red Street Records artist Ryan Larkins dropped a surprise 10-track album of classic gospel hymns, The Gospel Takes, songs he cherished as the foundations of his musical upbringing as a Tennessee native and the son of a Pentecostal preacher.

Larkins was only introduced to country music in his early twenties, and this collection of hymns including “Old Rugged Cross” and “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus” are not only special to Larkins, but are also known and beloved around the world.

“The Gospel Takes is a project that I am very passionate about,” says Larkins. “These songs have meant so much to me throughout my life. They were recorded in the most simple way, to let the words and the melodies take you back to an old oak pew in a little country church. I hope they move you as they have me!”

The album was co-produced by Larkins with Adam Engelhart, and follows a performance of his recently-released rendition of “White Christmas” on American Country Network’s holiday special, American Country Christmas. 

The Gospel Takes Track List:
1. “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”
2. “Blessed Assurance”
3. “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus”
4. “Old Rugged Cross”
5. “Victory In Jesus”
6. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness / It Is Well”
7. “I’ll Fly Away”
8. “Nothing But The Blood of Jesus”
9. “Can’t Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand”
10. “Someday It’ll All Make Sense”
