From the recording Beside Still Waters
(Gerald Crabb)
Though he’s written many hits for the Crabb Family and other artists, this is the first time the Nelons have recorded a Gerald Crabb composition. Kelly originally heard “What A Wonderful Name” on an album former Nelons soprano Karen Peck Gooch helped produce for the Watkins Family. In Kelly’s hands, what began as a bluegrass gospel number is transformed into an orchestral praise and worship ballad reminiscent of her earlier solo work.
