I really enjoyed this CD. It was my first exposure to Christian Rock, so I don't have the complaints that other reviewers did about materials being "old". In fact, this CD inspired me to buy more CD from groups such as Burlap to Cashmere and A Ragamuffin Band. I really like the international aspect to this CD, too often in the US we focus only on what we are used to. I bought this CD b/c I went to World Youth Day 2002 in Rome, and really wanted the song Emmanuel. However, my favorite song on the CD is A Ragamuffin Band's Il Tuo Strumento. I highly recomend this CD, especially for someone who is new to Christian Rock and would like a good sampler to help them see what other bands they might like.

First off, I went to World Youth Day 2000. It was very cool to hear these songs performed live in Rome and get that kind of emotional bond with them, especially the theme song Emmanuel. Burlap to Cashmere was one of my favorite songs to the week. It is very upbeat and catchy and people would get up and dance with one another whenever it was played. However, the stand out track of the album is Heart of Every Man, performed by Gabriel's Harp. The song was actually written by a brilliant performer I went to school with, Matthew West. He came out with a couple of great cds in school, and now that he has graduated he is going to start making it big. He has written songs (some of them going to number one on the charts) for Jump5, Rachel Lampa, Sarah Groves and Salvador. His album Sellout is avaliabe from Grass Roots Music and his first major album release is coming this fall from Universal South. If you want more information just drop me a line.
