First off, I just want to start off saying that I've enjoyed Bev's music ministry all the way back from the early 1990's when she was singing with Bobby Jones and New Life. I thought (and still think) she was an amazing singer with a zeal for ministry. And when she went solo around 95', I had been watching her career and ministry, even following her guest appearances on various projects (i.e. "Marvelous", "That's How the Lord Works") and the list goes on and on.

I'm glad that she is now with JDI Records, a label that seems to fit her "new" traditional style. I purchased a copy of Live From Los Angeles and am happy to say that the project is good.

This is Beverly, especially on the Tim "Bishop" Brown-penned "He's Done Enough". Even songs like "Lion of Judah" (which I think and hope churches around the country will be singing) fit her even though it is a little different from what she has done in the past (but that's ok, because it's still a great uptempo praise and worship song). Musically, this song is pure hotness!!!!

Another song that ministers to me on here is "We Need to Hear A Word" because without God, we can do nothing. I think there are a lot of good songs that people can sing and I honestly am grateful that there is an album that choirs and groups can sing again because that has been lacking in gospel for the past few years.

Another reason why I like this song is because she not only has the legendary Edwin Hawkins, but also her son Todd Jr. Even though young Todd sings with his mom for about 30 seconds, I can tell that he has a great voice filled with emotion and look forward to hearing more from him down the road.

Other favorites include "I Know Too Much", "Victory Comes", "I Owe Everything to Jesus" w/ Moses Tyson, and "He Keeps on Blessing Me" w/ daughter Latrina, who was also on the last album and matured vocally.

I just miss a bit of that ferocity that was seen on Now That I'm Here (like on "Born Again" and "Nothing Shall Separate Me", remember that "whoooo...shall" lol). But that's fine, this is still a must-buy!


I wish her well and pray that she continues to ministers in song for years to come.

Also, I am eager to see the DVD!

Bev, keep on being a blessing to God's people and the world!

This CD by Beverly Crawford is Awesome I love it and would recordment it for all gospel music lover. If you don't have it please get it I promise you will love it just as I do.

The soul and fire of Beverly Crawford reigns supreme on this album. Her hit single, "He's Done Enough", is destined for platinum status. She skillfully brings back old school gospel and blends it with a soulful delivery that can only be done Beverly Crawford's Way. Her name will reign up there with the likes of such great gospel icons as Abertina Walker, Shirley Caesar, and Dorothy Norwood. For the gospel music lover, this is one album that you will want to add to your collection.

If Beverly Crawford wasn't previously on the radar of female gospel greats, she certainly is with her Live from Los Angeles CD. This live performance allows a glimpse of the power of the spirit through Crawford's voice perhaps not captured in a studio recording. She combines a bit of old school and new school gospel that is sure to please a diverse listening audience. Kudos to her song-writers, lyricists and special guests.

This is my first purchase of a Beverly Crawford CD. This CD will bless your soul awesomely. Sister Crawford delivers each song from the depths of her soul, my most favorite songs are "We Need to Hear a Word from You", "Praise Jehovah", but really; all of the songs are incredible and you will truly feel the presence of God. This is the first CD purchased in a while that I am wearing out, I keep playing it so much. It is on my list to give as gifts to people this year in 2008. Sister Crawford will surely be blessed with a Stellar Award in 2009.

I bought this cd for one song, and was blessed. I am glad I took a chance and purchased this CD. What a blessing.

I found this album to be really good! This was the first Bev. Crawford album that I purchased and I must say that I'm very satisfied. While all of the songs are very good, my favorites are "He's Done Enough" and "I'm Still Standing." Well done, Mrs. Crawford! May God continue to bless you and keep you! My prayers are with you and your ministry. I look forward to more great music.

I am glad to report that Beverly has stayed true to her style. She has not lost anything. She is just as energentic as ever. Her background is wonderful and they compliment her strong voice well. Once again, another energy packed CD from Beverly. Enjoy.

If you are a fan/follower of Beverly Crawford, you will love this one also! the whole CD is typically "Beverly: bold and church rocking", but the one song for focus is truly "He's Done Enough"! Riveting through your very soul, Ms. Crawford held back nothing in her deliverance. Written by Tim "Bishop" Brown of L.A., the song was originally recorded by his own choir, whose rendition was not too shabby either! ... Which proves that the song is truly an awesome musical revelation on it's own! Right on, Beverly ... Right on "Bishop"!! Don't be afraid to make it a part of your gospel music library!

I love this CD! I just purchased Live From Los Angeles Vol. 2 & loving it too!
