Gene McDonald Releases New CD and DVD Forgiven and Free

NASHVILLE, TN – Classically trained bass/baritone and Gaither
Homecoming favorite Gene McDonald will release his newest studio album, Forgiven and
Free, on September 26. Produced by gospel music legends Bill Gaither and Kevin Williams,
the 12-track collection pays heartfelt tribute to the timeless songs and legacy of Bill
Gaither, Gloria Gaither, and George Beverly Shea.
With a voice affectionately known as “The Sound of the Low Note,” McDonald brings his
warmth and resonance to beloved songs such as “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” “Thanks to
Calvary (I Don’t Live Here Anymore),” and “How Great Thou Art.”
“This album is deeply personal to me,” McDonald said about the project. “These songs
shaped my faith and musical journey. I wanted to honor the legacy of those who came
before me while sharing messages of salvation, hope, and grace.”

This inspirational collection of uplifting songs is available in both CD and DVD formats.
