This review is from: Oh the Lamb (Audio CD)

I recently purchased this album and it has confirmed in my mind that Daryl Coley is still one of the finest singers around. After losing both parents within a month of each other (which would affect anyone - I don't care who you are), he has managed to stay focussed and do what he does best - sing to the honour and glory of the Most High God.

There are some amazing tracks on this album, such as, 'Because He's God', 'Silent Scream', 'II Chronicles', 'Oh the Lamb' and a fine re-working of 'For the Good of Them'. The choir/group and musicians Daryl Coley works with are fantastic, and everything comes together beautifully.

They are masters of their craft. They blend their voices with the music in a way that is refreshing to listen to. It is jazzy, and contemporary, but never strays from its gospel sounding roots.

There is a saying, "What ever is worth doing, is worth doing well." This album is well done!

Go ahead, treat yourself.

Reverend Daryl is back and better than ever! After disappointing me, a long time fan with his last live recording "Live In Oakland: Home Again" he has made it up to me with this one. This recording also seems to establish Beloved, his 14 member ensemble, as his permanent backup singers moving Daryl from the male soloist club with Desmond Pringle and Alvin Slaughter to the ranks of choir director with artists such as Richard Smallwood and James Hall. To set this new deal in concrete Daryl doesn't even lead every song. In some songs we don't hear his amazing voice at all. Instead he opts to let some of the voices of Beloved bask in the spotlight, just like a loving pastor.
The album starts off with the rousing, "Because He's God", which Daryl leads with a female soloist from Beloved. The album then continues into the midtempo "II Chronicles", in which the ensemble shows off their vocal skills mimicking Reverend Coley's riffs. Next is "He'll Make A Way", written by Reverend Coley's teenage son Teceion Coley. Other standouts on the album are the studio recorded cover of Milton Brunson & the Thompson Community Singers "For The Good Of Them", the salsa flavored "Lift Your Name On High", lead by an unnamed member of Beloved, the deep lyrics of "Silent Scream" written by Gospel hit maker V. Michael Mc Kay are mangled by an unnamed male who spoon feed's Daryl the lyrics to the song [How Kirk Franklin of him?]. It would have been better for Daryl to do this one alone. Then there's the jazzy "I Need You", lead by Reverend Coley and the rousing and modulative "He's Worthy", led by an unnamed female member of Beloved. The album ends with the studio recorded "He Can Work It Out", lead by Coley.
Besides having all of these talented folk from Beloved being unnamed with their songs, the album's great!

For those of you who do not have this album....This is one of Daryl's best. His vocal skills can not be matched by any other male Gospel artist. This album is truly a blessing. The songs I enjoy on this album are "He's God" (funky tune with brash guitar riffs), "Heal the Land" (By far my favorite), "Oh the Lamb" (will have you raising your hands anywhere), and "Work It Out". The rest of the material is nice also, I just enjoy these songs more. If you don't have this album, you're missing out on a treat. This is a truly wonderful project and I am not a big Daryl Coley fan. I am a huge fan of his vocal ability, but his albums except for a few songs (the popular ones) never did anything for me until this one. I was never really pushed to buy one of his albums until this one released. Finally, anytime an artist works with Kevin Bond you know his/her project will be tight. (i.e.-Donnie McClurkin, T.D. Jakes, Donald Lawrence) Any of those names sound familiar?
