5.0 out of 5 stars Varied and Enjoyable, August 13, 2005

David's latest solo album is so varied it's hard to know what category to put it in. But no matter how you describe it, it's thoroughly enjoyable.

The disc opens with three adult contemporary tracks. The first is a fun praise song, and the second is a dedication of the heart to God. They're fun, but mostly forgettable.

It's track four where things really start to pick up. "Just as I Am" is not the old hymn although it does cover the same territory. Co-written with Cindy Morgan, it's got a haunting minor key melody.

"Revelation" sounds like it would fit in any rock opera being written today. You have to pay attention to this take on end times to fully appreciate it.

"Virtuoso" is another praise song, from the singer to the Creator. It's a wonderful track with a catchy tune that gives David the chance to show of his very impressive voice. And don't be fooled by the word "Reprise." The last track is a slower more thoughtful version of this song, but it's all there a second time.

"Perdoname Dios" has, unsurprisingly, a Latin flavor. It's a prayer from the valley asking God why.

The disc ends with the ballad "Live Like a King." David gets another chance to really show of his vocals here as he sings of his desire to live the way Jesus did.

Even with the variety of styles, this will appeal mostly to fans of adult contemporary. Anyone who picks it up will be in for a real treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven-sent!, July 15, 2005

I've had the wonderful blessing of attending one of David's concerts. My 76 yr old Mother and I both agree -- there can't be an angel in heaven who sings better than David Phelps! God definitely blessed this young man -- not only with an awesome voice -- but with the humble, loving gift of sharing the gospel of Jesus with everyone and anyone.
He could be making money hand over fist in the secular world of music -- but, instead, is using his God-given talent for God. What a combination!! We are going to see him in concert in a few weeks -- again. We traveled 6 1/2 hrs -- one way -- to see him in concert last year!

The first time I listened to the CD I was expecting to hear some great songs along the line of the Gaither Homecoming genre. At first I was disappointed...but after listening thru the second time I realized this may be the greatest CD I've heard in years! When I got to the fourth song "Just As I Am", I got to hear a fantastic song by a great vocalist. The next song "Revelation" is possibly one of the best 4 minute explanations of the Second Coming that there is. Simply an AWESOME song. The last song in this trio "Virtuoso" is dynamite. What a tribute from this vocalist to his Lord. I don't know David, but the words to this song must be the way he feels about his service to the King.
