Album is OFF THE CHAIN!!! STRAIGHT CHOIR MUSIC. "Bless His Holy Name" is my favorite song...next song for my choir easily! Now who is this lady on "One More Chance," SHE IS "KILLING IT"!!! Not since "Jesus Can Work It Out" and "Let Us All Go Back," has a song leader so straight "LACED A SONG." I PROMISE YOU, that is one of the top 3 leads ever sung on an up-tempo song. Her name is Lillian Lloyd - much props Woman of God. I PRAY they have a DVD, I know somebody tried to throw a shoe or something at her!! If you don't believe me - check YouTube, I know its on there! OK OK "Our Father You Are Holy" is so sweet. That's my Top 3 on an album that was worth the wait. Now if I could've just found James Hall's!!! I went to 3 Walmart's, Target, Circuit City, and finally found the only copy of this CD in a Best Buy 45 min away from where I live!! And "NO STORE" had James Hall's release. BTW - Why is the "Gospel" music section always so small?!?!? Bless you all!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pop Gospel, or Gospel Pop?, February 26, 2008

I am about to step on many toes but today's gospel music sounds too much like the secular music of the day. This is very hard to put into words, but this gospel to me is no more than pop, or hip hop with a changing of the words.

Purchasing new gospel music has for me been very difficult, in that the musical arrangements are to coin a phrase, "Too Worldly," for my taste. Now I know many embrace the sound, and think it is fantastic, but I always thought there should be a difference in worship music, and todays pop. Alas though there is not. At the same time I can see why, though these artists may be sincere in their convictions, the music is out of sorts. Is the goal money, or praise?

This is just some good ol' time church music and even as a young person (I'm only 21) I feel that gospel music would be lost without CD's like this one. "Our Father You Are Holy" is a nice simple worship song and my favorite on the CD. "The Light" has been one of my favorites since I heard it on the radio. "One More Chance" IS THE SONG!! And the lady who leads it is truly anointed. Overall I enjoyed Ricky Dillard and New G. They have such a rich sound and I look forward to hearing more.
