First the Good...Now I'm biased because I sang in the recording session. BUT!!! cmon this is Detroit Gosepl at it's best. Brian Watkins, Tony Lucas, Larry Tucker, And of course Volley! Victor and Derek directing!!! This was done in the heyday of about 9 choirs releasing albums left and right from the local area. Wanda is at her best hitting impossible notes and preaching all over the place. Oh yeah it was like 90 million degrees in Peters Rock that whole day!! If you have never heard this woman sing live?...find a way to see her, rather she's in Atlanta or Detroit! This Recording was CRAZYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!....... 5 stars!! Now the bad, the label Sound Of Gospel has no buisness releasing albums like this. you know, that havent been properly mixed or overdubbed. I cant blame them altogether because Donald Vails and Thomas Whitfield as well as Derek Milan and several others have done a great job with the post recording side of the music buisness on the same label. HOWEVER! If Wanda is happy with this muffled and bootleg sound?, who am I to question it. 1 star!!
Overall I give it 4 stars. Lots of energy is transferred to the listner, just not the enormity of the amount of talent that was amassed to create it. Too bad This album should have been a Detroit Classic.
