Alabama Senate Majority Leader Greg Reed (R-Jasper) is already known as one of the state’s greatest orators and most accomplished conservative statesmen. However, judging from a Tuesday performance, Reed might also be the leading contender if there was ever an “American Idol” or “The Voice” style singing competition among Yellowhammer State elected officials.

Per a Facebook video posted by Republican grassroots activist Tammi Noelle Taylor, Reed attended a civic meeting in the town of West Jefferson at which he sang “My God Is Real,” which was made famous by the likes of Don Gibson, Johnny Cash and Mahalia Jackson.

Reed, in a powerful rendition, certainly did these music legends justice.

Watch:

Additionally, Alabama political observers may be interested in this fun fact: Reed actually previously recorded his own album entitled, “Classic Revival.”
