I honestly never thought that there could ever be a way to top or even come close to the last album "No One Else", but this new album "Awesome Wonder" is running neck-in-neck. In the three year hiatus between albums the Kurt Carr singers have made a few minor cast changes. After the disbanding of Kesha Ealy, LA Mass Choir veteran, Nicole Potts ["Jesus Never Fails"] took her place and after the disbanding of Corey Briggs, New Jersey import, Troy Bright, a former CD Hawkins Singer, takes his place. Despite the cast changes, the sound remains the same.
Backed by West Angeles COGIC's Choir Of Life, the recording starts off with "In The Sanctuary", a rousing worship and praise song, which modulates into the heavens. Then there's the forceful yet fun praise song "We Declare War", led by Kurt Carr and Jackie Boyd-De Raat, after that is "O My Soul Loves Jesus" , a beautiful praise song led by Nicole Potts. Then there's the rousing "I Almost Let Go", led by Sherron Bennett along with Choir Of Life member Tisa Wills. Then there's the hot, salsa flavored "We Offer You Praise", led by Carr and the proclaimed "First Lady of Worship and Praise", Judy McAllister the song is played by Alberto Salas and his band. Then there's the down home Charles G. Hayes meets Kurt Carr flavored "Jesus Can Work It Out" with Shervonne Wells leading with spectacular ad-libs on the drive. After this is the "Worship Medley", beautifully led by Yvette Williams. Then there's something we wouldn't expect from Kurt Carr, an urban song. The title track. "Awesome Wonder" thought it has a worship and praise feel to it has a hot urban beat and edge mixed with the Kurt Carr singers vocals, the song is hot! After that is the beautiful "The Blood Still Has Miraculous Power", lead by Yvette Williams and then there's the sizzling hot jam "At All Times", lead by Jackie Boyd-De Raat and Nicole Potts. Then the most beautiful song on the entire album "That's Just The Way The Father Is", smoothly led by Kurt Carr's newest singer, native New Jersean, Troy Bright and to end the album the singers do exactly what the titles says, they "Set The Atmosphere" for a blessing from the Lord.
I was blessed by this album and I'm sure you will be to. This album is beautiful and indeed a must have!

i listened to this cd once and wasn't quite interested. however there was one song that caught my interet "set the atmosphere" #14. i began to listen to the cd more and more and now its in my player all the time. kurt carr is like fred hammond with a touch of marvin sapp and a sprinkle of donnie mcclurkin. his songs have powerful messages. no. 9 will defintely make your head bop, but the words will definitely minister to your soul. as well as his other songs, especially no. 1. this cd will make you wanna get up and shout!

Kurt Carr has done it again!!! This project is powerful, sharp, rich and fresh. The praise songs will sing in your spirit for days. You will find yourself humming the tunes of this CD. Praise God for Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr Singers for blessing us with this anointed project.

Having forged a friendship with Carr when he was a musician at our church in Hartford and when he was a fellow student at the University of Connecticut, I was certain that he had THAT special, God-given gift that is SOOOO evident in this project. Awesome Wonder is simply awesome!!! The vocals, in true "Kurt Carr" style, are phenomenal. The intracacy of the music is refreshing. The album as a whole is creativity at its pinnacle. "In the Sanctuary" pierces the heart spiritually and satisfies ones need for pleasing rhythms. The project is unique and well worth the investment.

Praise GOD Kurt Carr is blessed, better than blessed. I can feel why he wrote each piece. I love the entire CD. I'm a gospel singer, trust and know that I know good vocals when I hear them. The Kurt Carr singers are talent in pure form. Not only does the group have talent but they feel what they are singing. The reason why I know is, I can feel what they are singing. The annointing passes thru this CD to the listener. Kurt Carr keep pressing towards the mark of the prize of the high calling in Jesus Christ.

God Bless

Kurt Carr's Awesome Wonder is Awesome. From In the Santuary to Set the Atmosphere, all the songs are the bomb! Listening to the CD is great, but hearing the Kurt Carr Singers in person is such a blessing. I got the chance to meet them in Memphis,TN for the C.O.G.I.C. Convocation and they are beautiful people on the inside as well as the outside. I encourage everyone to go pick up the album because it is definitely worth it!

This CD was truly a blessing to me, it is awesome! Set The Atmosphere puts you in the mind frame of worship and praising the most high God! Can't you hear the angels!!! This whole CD is just awesome and you can feel the anointing on it everytime you listen to it, this CD set's the atmosphere(my favorite song :-) for deliverance, healing, and miracles to take place. Just AWESOME!!!

IF YOU NEED A UPLIFTING OR YOU NEED A REMINDER THAT GOD IS TRULY BLESSING YOU, YOU SHOULD SHARE IN THE JOY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THIS ARTIST. KURT CARR IS TRULY BLESSED BY JESUS' LOVE AND KINDNESS. THE LORD SPEAKS THROUGH MUSIC TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS AND ADMINISTER TO YOUR SOUL. GOD BLESS YOU, LOVE LESLIE

I am totally impressed with the song "I almost let go". Please advise if this song is available in sheet music or within a book of music. How can I purchase it. This is a very inspiring song.
