5.0 out of 5 stars I'm goin' back to the Country Church with Joshua!, June 29, 2004

By	"holy1227" (Richardson, TX USA) - See all my reviews

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Joshua Nelson? Truly, he is the Prince of Gospel and I declare that he is the future of Gospel. If you are worn and weary of this "secular" Gospel(???), that has a form of godliness but no power, if you are tired of trying to piece together enough JESUS in this new school music to call it Gospel, if you want the real deal, this is the album you have to get, period. A word of caution: Do not take this CD to work with you to listen to it-you may get up and run and shout all over your workplace!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best since Mahalia, October 8, 2003

By	Marty Shcwartz (New York New York) - See all my reviews

I thought Iwould never hear a voice like Mahalia Jackson's. Joshua Nelson not only sounds exactly like Mahalia, he even has the same breathing techniques. On songs like Elijah Rock, Didn't it rain he brings the house down. I've havent heard anyone sing "In the upper room" quite like this. This album is strict traditional.The organ, piano and even the drums are played like they were in the old days. Joshua seems to be a very young man, but Lord have mercy.Once as a little boy I asked the Lord to let me hear Mahalia once more......well..... he answered my prayers. You gots to get this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joshua Nelson, July 19, 2003

By	Dwayne Lightsey Jr. (Maryland) - See all my reviews

I'm so glad that a CD has finally been released- to showcase Brother Joshua Nelson. He really proves that Mahalia Jackson is an influence in his life. Even though there are some similarities between voices and techniques, Mahalia and Joshua sound TOTALLY different.

In the song, "This Is My Faith," it kind of gives a 'romantic' side of Gospel. "Elijah Rock" and "Didn't It Rain" are the 2 'shout' songs on this CD. I'm listening to it right now, and I feel like I'm gonna cut a step right now- HEY HEY! GLORY!

Emmit Powell's CD is also very nice. For some reason, to me it has a different type of sound. I'm love- and I'm used to the 'hoopin and hollerin' Gospel, but over all, Emmit's is kind of cool and relaxing.

I would recommend this CD to all Gospel Fans.
