After eliminating duplicates, I had a thirteen-way tie to break for the last four spots. I chose a quintessential uptempo song (“The River Keeps A-Rollin'”) and ballad (“We Believe”). I also picked two songs from the 2007 Grand Ole Gospel Reunion, “I’ve Been Changed” and “Over the Moon,” since they show that the Booth Brothers don’t need the soundtracks and everything else that enhances modern performances to shine.
This round was fairly easy. The Booth Brothers are photogenic and videogenic (did I just coin a new term?), and great footage abounds. But are y’all up for a challenge next time around?
