5.0 out of 5 stars EXPLOSIVE! RIVETING! PROVOKING! ANOINTED!, December 30, 1999

By

This review is from: Mountain High...Valley Low (Audio CD)

Yolanda Adams is without a doubt the leading Female Gospel Artist of this time! I sat and watched as she's grown vocally, emotionally, musically and spiritually through each of her projects. Her latest project Mountain High, Valley Low is probably the best gospel project I've heard in quite some time. Some of the standout selections are the popish Yeah, the tender Fragile Heart, the moving That Name, the Soul-stirring In the Midst of It all, a great duet with the right message (w/Kelly Price) He'll Arrive, the man himself Fred Hammond produced the rockin' Continual Praise and the rockin' closer Already Alright. Not only is it filled with a variety of musical styles but the lyrics are exceptional, the music itself is uplifting and inspiring, she is definitely singing and more importantly, she has received a spiritual endowment from the Lord (anointing) for such a time as this. Very few gospel artist projects have good packaging, good lyrics, good singing, good production and the anointing of God. That a five-fold project that very few have. However, Mrs. Adams-Crawford is the exception and I whole heartedly agree with Amazon.com. I'm happy that they have chosen her to be Artist of the Year. I just hope that those persons in charge of the Grammy Ballot has not overlooked Mrs. Adams-Crawford again. This is the project that's going to reach the masses, grab the grammy, minister to the saints and those who do not attend church. I cannot close without mentioning her live performances (Donny and Marie, Soul Train Christmasfest, Showtime at the Apollo). They have been exceptional! It's marvelous to know that mainstream is no longer associating Gospel Music with Kirk Franklin or the Winans Family (who I appreciate too) because there is a heap of rich talent in the industry and Yolanda Adams is certainly leading the pack. Ladies and Gentlemen, I urge you to purchase this cd and allow it to speak into your life. It will encourage you, it will provoke you to think on the goodness of Jesus and it will bring in a spirit of fun and laughter into the atmosphere and it's just a good piece of work. Yolanda, God Bless You and stay in the Will of the Lord. For He has indeed set you aside for such a time as this and the best is truly yet to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yolanda Has Done It Again!, November 30, 1999

This review is from: Mountain High...Valley Low (Audio CD)

There are few words to describe this incredible, anointed woman. God has given her a gift to sing and she uses it to His glory. "Mountain High, Valley Low" is a wonderful mix of some great music. Yolanda uses hip-hop, R&B, jazz and of course, traditional gospel in this fabulously produced and written CD. "Time To Change", "Yeah", "That Name", "In The Midst Of It All", "The Things We Do", "He'll Arrive" and "Continual Praise" are all great songs. How could she go wrong with Richard Smallwood, Kevin Bond, Fred Hammond, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Kelly Price and Lauryn Hill on this project? Although her sound is very contemporary and progressive, Yolanda never strays from the uncomprising Word of God. This CD takes Yolanda to higher heights and into new territory and seals her place in Gospel music history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yolanda Adams' Greatest Hits, March 3, 2000

By 

TeBorah White (Denton,Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mountain High...Valley Low (Audio CD)

When a most people think of Yolanda Adams' Greatest Hits, they think of "The Battle is the Lord's," and "While Riding Through the Storm." When I think of Yolanda Adam's greatest hits, I think of "Mountain High...Valley Low." This album is by far one of the best, if not the best, collections of song Ms. Adams has ever put forth. With songs that praise the Lord as well as songs that teach us how to love one another, "Mountain High...Valley Low" will truly bless anyone who listens to it.
