Where do I begin? Whatever your gospel musical taste...this CD has it. I am a young minister and choir director who very often listens to gospel music to get my mind (and heart) together in order to minister to God's people. If you're like me, my different moods cry out for different styles of gospel music. Somedays I'm in worship mode, other days I wanna break out with a dance and when I feel overwhelmed by life's pressures...I wanna cry out with a loud voice (Shabach). This album saves me time and money looking for different albums for my different moods. Without exaggeration....Blessed By Association (love that title) has it all...and then some!

If you're a worshipper you will be drawn to "It's Time for Worship", "That's Why I Praise You", "More than Anything" and "Breathe on Me" with it's own added bonus on the end. Just make sure you're not driving when listening to these songs....you may just lose control of your car. A box of Kleenex or some space for you to lay prostrate will also come in handy...listen to them and you'll understand exactly what I mean.

If you wanna get your shout on...."I Won't Let Go" and "He's the Greatest" are a quick fix. As if "I Won't Let Go" wasn't enough for you to pick'em up and put'em down...they had to add a dance mix of this song on the end of the CD with the most anointed tromobonist playing the lead in place of Pastor Kee. Talk about a praisefest going into overtime? Whoa!!!

I've never been to Africa, but if the song "Karamu" is any representation of how they worship in Africa......book my seat on the next plane, I'm outta here. The heavy drum beat along with the African lyrics (and English translation to boot) will have you stomping your feet and breaking out in a praise in no time.

If you want to JAM (and I do mean JAM)..."At the Cross" and "You Blessed Me" will have your youth (and young at heart) raising the praise. "You Blessed Me" is actually a reprise of the same song from an earlier CD of Pastor Kee's with an added reminder message that....Your victory, your deliverance and your blessing is in your praise!!! Watch it...you gonna make me act up in here.

I'm telling you, Pastor Kee and New Life have made an impact on the gospel music community with this CD that will last for generations to come. Like T.D. Jakes says....."Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready".

This was an excellent follow up to Kee's Not Guilty dual CD. There is a good mixture of songs on this album ranging from hand-clapping songs to praise and worship. Also, there is a woman vocalist on the bonus track that sings wonderfully. Kee does it again and gives plenty of songs for the dollar.

If you're looking for the usual John Kee sound, this album has it and then some. John does a remarkable job of keeping his music exciting. After "Not Guilty", I didn't think he could get any better than that. "God of Mercy"....Good Lawd!!! Calvin (the drummer on that song) is the man. Chris Kee, John's son, does an excellent job on this project. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a John Kee project. He's going to give you funk. He's going to give you worship and a little bit of everything else in between. I don't know how John stays ahead of the game, but Father Time doesn't seem to be able to keep up with this Gospel legend. I believe that this album will not disappoint current fans or new fans of the "Crown Prince of Gospel". I've followed John ever since "Jesus is Mine" (anybody remember that song?), and he has never released a totally wack project. The only album that I didn't enjoy as much was the "We Walk By Faith" album, because the production work was sub-par, but Isaac and Lowell were the bomb and so was. All the songs on this album are A-1 material, which is characteristic of his immense talent. As I said before, John does not disappoint. Buy this album and you will definitely agree with me. It will truly bless your spirit man. Be Blessed.

ALL THE SONGS AND THE MUSIC IS THE BOMB. JOHN P KEE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CD. THE ONLY SONG THAT I DONT LIKE IS JUST FOR ME. I DONT LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC AND SO I DONT LIKE THIS SONG. THIS CD WILL BLESS YOUR SOUL. EVERY SONG YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT. THIS IS AWESOME

I really enjoyed the CD. I like the variety of music and the messages the songs have. You can really feel what they are singing about. I love gospel music like this. This is a CD you can play when your spirits need an uplift. This CD will take you there.

I honestly don't know what or what not to say concerning this CD...except.... Exceptional and Excellent. J.P. has such a spirit of excellence that spills over to the entire New Life Community that affects anyone who has a true heart to worship God in Spirit and in truth! Every song is a blast, rich, full of depth, meaning, life, colorful, and colorless. God shines through each track!!

The musicians are 2nd to none, as usual. Get it...get it...get it, if you don't already have it! "He's the Greatest" itself, J.P., and all of New Life and the rest of the CD are just that, the greatest. So, anointed...

John P. Kee has done it again. This CD is wonderful. I really like the song "Down at the Cross". I heard John P. Kee at a concert before buying the CD. I was so inspired after hearing some of the songs at the concert that I had to go out to get the CD. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is an avid JOHN P KEE FAN!!

I think that is by far one of John P. Kee's good cd's since his early days with songs like "Lilly in the Valley" and "God of Mercy." This cd is so packed with powerful songs that I just can't belive it. There are so many different flavors on here that the lister can not be bored. John P. Kee made this cd in good taste because there is something on here for everyone. From the old time songs with new flavor like " At the Cross" to his African influence to even an old southern gospel style on "Just for Me." This cd is great and I love it.

THIS CD IS A BLESSING AND WILL BE A BLESSING TO EVERYONE THAT HERE IT AND BUY IT, STARTING OFF AT THE BEGINNING WITH HE'S THE GREATEST.

I'm a white guy and an atheist, no less. So why am I giving 5 stars to this CD? Because two tracks, "He's The Greatest" and "I Won't Let Go" are the two songs I've listened to more times than any others in my 54 years on earth. And I've listened to a lot of music: from classical to big band, ragtime to fusion jazz. The rest of the CD doesn't do much for me but it's more than worth the money for just those two tracks. I find them so uplifting that I'd guess they'd be a ...antidepressant. I use it to keep me pumped up as I ride my boring exercise bike.
