This release from The Gaither Vocal Band is one of my all-time favorite Southern-Gospel CD's! I believe it will bless you and fill your heart with the wonderful joys of the Holy Spirit! The Gaither Vocal Band brings, not only music that you can feel, but lyrics that will touch your soul. This CD brings the perfect opportunity to surround yourself with the warm, rich, and close harmonies that only The Gaither Vocal Band can deliver. I listen to it in the car, at work, and at home. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this one! DEFINATELY A "MUST HAVE" FOR YOUR COLLECTION!

Interestingly enough, I heard this CD last out of most of the Gaither albums. Honestly, the reason I picked it up was to see how good they would sound without David Phelps. I was very impressed. And you all know how I think David's voice is tops in any category. Jonathan Pierce does a great job of blending with the other voices and doing solos. I give him my stamp of high approval.

The song selection is excellent. Instrumentation is excellent. Recording work was done well. Vocal blend with music is excellent as the music never overpowers any of the vocals. On a few songs, the bass guitar levels are a little too high in volume and bass presence. Mixing and mastering was pretty good, as were the vocal dynamics. All the vocals sound pretty consistent from song to song. This is often not the case with their other offerings, except "I DO BELIEVE." Gaither tends to record different songs at different studios (Im not sure why). This CD blows away their most current offering ('Everything Good'). Not that "Everything Good" is bad but on every level mentioned above, this CD surpasses it by leaps and bounds.

The 'I do Believe' album from Gaither was my favorite and the standard by which I measure many group vocal albums. This album often matches the quality of "I Do Believe" and at certain times may even surpass it. I listen carefully to whatever music is placed in front of me (I've been producing, mastering, mixing, and recording professional albums for 20+ years). Out with the new, in with the old. This one's a treasure.

I host a Sunday Morning Gospel radio show and among the hundreds of albums at my selection, this one gets its airtime EVERY week. Each track has its own piece of character that begs to be replayed! I've become a Gaither fan because of THIS cd! My personal favorite, and the most requested, is Singin' With The Saints. It, and many more on this album, are the upbeat Christian tunes that make you want to get up and make that joyful noise!

I own more than 20 Gaither CDs and this one ranks in the top three. Everytime I think I can pick a favorite, the next number begins and THAT one becomes my favorite. I found Tell Me with Janet Paschal to be exceptionally moving. Happy Rhythm is a departure from the typical (if there is such a thing for Bill Gaither) presentation but fun -- a real toe-tapper.

Bill and his crew never fail to entertain, inspire, and bring joy to people through their music. Every tune is my favorite! You can't pick just one!

I LOVE THIS CD!!!! I love the Gaither Vocal Band (before Guy Penrod left) and this CD is no exception. It is great, songs are great, CD arrived in great condition. Couldn't ask for better purchase!

This is OK. I would have given it 3 stars if not for "great gettin' up morning," which is fantastic. Many of these songs were redone on the Hawaiian CD, with Phelps on tenor, so that is better.

I'm a huge fan of Gaither Vocal Band and I thoroughly enjoy this CD. The harmony is tight and the song selection great! There are upbeat, toe-tapping songs and there are songs with tremendously moving lyrics. I highly recommend this CD to any Southern Gospel fan or for anyone thinking of trying Southern Gospel for the first time. It's certainly a must have!

This was a good CD to listen to, although when you hear the line up with David Phelps do these songs, its easy to understand why David is in the group. His vocal range is (in my opinion) endless..... Johnathan Pierce does a great job on this cd, but David is "the bomb".... And now since Russ Taff has joined the band, aside from the Angelic voices of Heaven, this line up is perfect as far as I'm concerned. Now if I could just get Bill Gaither to set up an IMPERIALS reunion with Armond M., Russ T., Dave W. Jim M. I'll be a happy camper!! Thanks and Enjoy this CD....

GVB harmonies are wonderful, the music is inspiring, the words are true. I have all the GVB albums and would recomemmed every one. But check out Mark Lowry's comedy/music also -- beautiful voice, hilariously funny.
