This review is from: Cat Hymns [With Full-Length Audio CD] (Hardcover)

A full range of hymn performance styles - Gospel quartets, bluesgrass, blues, country ... is here performed by cats of distinction (actually it sounds as if the cats ordered their human musically inclined servants to sing as proxies).

A short list of a few of the delights:

I Will Sing of My Purina which sounds suspiciously like I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

Oh, They Tell Me of a Home which sounds suspiciously like Oh They Tell Me of a Home

Lord, I'm Coming Home the lyrics of which are only slightly odd

Tussle and Play which sounds suspiciously like Trust and Obey.

You also get the complete lyrics to sing along. An even the end pages are useful, introducing you to the cream of religious cats such as Reverend A. Jax: "To poor little kitties / Who've gone astray / He preaches salvation ... / He shows the way."

This book is a delight! Familiar old hymn tunes were taken and cat-appropriate words were written. Then they are beautifully performed. And they are a HOOT! If you have ever loved a kitty, you will love this book. But DON'T BUY IT WITHOUT THE CD!! The whole effect is lost without the CD. Put it in your car and I guarantee traffic won't bother you quite as much as usual.
