Amazing Grace Bobby Hardy


In this age of auto tune, Pro Tools, mixes and remixes, sometimes you need to stop and listen to an old time gospel hymn, sung flatfooted and with minimal instrumentation, like it used to be.

This is what Bobby Hardy of Hollywood, California gives us. Accompanied by piano and synth-strings, the film, stage and television actor delivers the chestnut of all hymns with appropriate dignity.
