5.0 out of 5 stars Blessed with Jesus's Stamp of Approval, October 9, 1999

I first heard the Campbell Brothers and Katie Jackson on the NPR show E-Town, and like everyone in the audience, was absolutely blown away. The liner notes tell why: the music's one central purpose is to help you become filled with the Holy Spirit. "Jump for Joy" is the best boogie I've heard in years, while "Mary, Don't You Weep" is easily the best "blues with a feeling." "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is easily the most innovative take on this old warhorse.

When you're beaten down and feeling like an empty shell, let the Campbell Brothers and Katie Jackson show you the path. YOU WILL BE HEALED!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Real Deal, May 2, 2000

As a long time fan of both old-time (30s-50s) and contemporary Black gospel music, I put this album at the very top of the mountain, with the best of the best. Katie Jackson has rock-solid roots deep in her faith and she knows how to fly. She gives her all. Every word hits you in the gut with the rightness of perfect conviction and perfect musical sense. This music is "not for form or fashion" but is as real as it gets, whether it's Katie Jackson or Johann Sebastian Bach. And the Campbell Brothers rock! They're live wires and they're with her every step of the way. It doesn't get better than this. Amen Hallelujah.

5.0 out of 5 stars The power of this album gives me chills!, June 26, 2000

I enjoy most styles of music, but there's something mighty powerful about this stripped-down style of gospel. My suggestion for first-time listeners--wear a comfortable pair of shoes, because you'll be tapping your feet a thousand miles a second (if not dancing around the house!). When I hear music like this, I also have a sense of sadness for all the folks that'll never be exposed to this amazing form artistic and religious expression.
