This cd was truly heart-warming. I especially love the song "Don't Let Me Fall". I like this song mainly because we all want the Lord to be with us at all times. But there are times when we feel as though we cannot make it. In those times, the Lord takes over and he holds us. He will not let us fall. The cd will have you on your feet praising God. This is a great gift for anyone whether or not they like gospel music. Detrick Haddon is a very inspirational young man. If you thought that Kirk Franklin had the place rocking, you should listen to this cd. Detrick Haddon is on top now !!!!!

- A VERY BIG FAN

I first heard Haddon's music thanks to the smooth ballad "Sinner's Prayer" and went in search of the CD, LOST AND FOUND, and loved it. Since then, I've begun to borrow some of his other music from the library to see if would hold its own against that disc. On this one, Haddon is using all live instrumentation (no keyboard or drum programming)and tends toward a more traditional gospel sound for the most part rather than the R&B flavour dominating LOST AND FOUND.

HIGHLIGHTS:
"The Potter" paraphrases the simple truth that we are unmolded clay in the hands of God...still waiting to be perfected. It has almost a 70s soul feel with its organ and popping bass. "Don't Let me Fall" uses wailing 80s rock guitar in the mix in a song that reminds me of a slow jam I can't quite place. "Rise and Be Healed" is probably the strongest tune here ("You may be a lame man and you can't even walk/Rise and be healed/You may be a dumb man and you can't even talk/Rise and be healed"), proclaiming God's desire to heal people both physically and emotionally. "Holy,Holy" uses a guest appearance by Dietrich's mom Dr. Joyce Haddon for some great call and response vocals (particularly when Dietrich sings "Mama you taught me how to love Him, but now I love Him for myself" and she answers back "Keep on loving Jesus, baby!". "Sweeter" is a simple anthem of encouragement ("Weepin' just endure for a night, it's gonna get better,better,better as the day go by..") "Outpour" is based around Acts 2:17-18, the verse explaining that God's Spirit will be felt even more as the world approaches its final days. ("We need an outpour of Your Spirit, Lord/Send it down,send it down...") It's a slow hymn that would feel right at home in Sunday services.

LOWS:
There aren't any really awful songs but I could really do without the "interview" cuts (5 of them) in between the songs, as well as the "Welcome You (Interlude)" and "Welcome You (Reprise)". These devices of using partial tunes to bookend an album has become almost a cliche and brings the album as a whole down.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you're new to Haddon I wouldn't start here..I'd go with LOST AND FOUND or CROSSROADS instead. But if you already are a fan of his, you'll probably want this.

This Cd is very peaceful for a worshipper
in Christ. Its not the same style as the stuff
has on the radio. This Cd is very soulful and contemporary
but now overproduced with fast beats that drown
out the message. With the use of the use of live
instruments this album seems pure and genuine.
The anointing is here and everything is inspired
by the Holy Ghost. If you are into a lot of rhythms
and beats this Cd may not be for you. Also if you are looking
for entertainment this Cd is not for. This Cd
is more designed for worship and meditation.
For mature christians definitely!

I love this album!! It makes you want to get closer to God!! It's like a loving coversation with Our Father... I encourage all to get this album....now! Trust and believe you will not regret it!!!

This is album is a album that people need to listen to when in distress, sick or depressed. I had an opportunity to hear Dietrick Haddon live on two occasions. The brotha is OFF DA' HOOK!!!! He is bringing Gospel Music to another level!!!!ANd with this album, he has truly proven himself. A great anointing flows throughout this cd especially songs like "Rise and Be Healed","Outpour", and "Recieve Our Praise". I Totally recommend this CD as well as his previous one, "Live The Life". Which is another great work of Dietrick's.

Last year when this cd was released I borrowed it from a friend and wasn't able to really listen to it and get the effect of the music. Recently I bought it and listened to the lyrics of the songs and the stories he tells inbetween. I must say that Deitrick Haddon is a true missionary for God. What he is doing for us youth is truly fantastic. He along with many other young gospel artists understand what the youth of today are going through and minister to us in a way that we can relate. I know that when I have a sadden spirit "This Is My Story" cheers me right up and moves me in the spirit of the holy ghost. This cd is a treasure and should not be missed by anyone...young or old.

This album was good. Some of the cuts are really nice, such as #2 and #13, but I have one concern. There are way too many personal interviews with Mr. Haddon on this CD. I believe there are six all together. I believe that he is under the misconception that people are really that interested in the artist. If he was going to do that much talking on this CD, HE should of at least talked less about himself and more about God and how he is a deliverer and a healer etc. AS gospel artist, we need to uinderstand that our CD's are not some thing to add to our resumes and credentials, but instead they are tools of ministry for our fellow Christians and tools of redemption for the unbeliever, nothing less. I would recomend that you get this CD, it is pretty good I enjoy listening to it, but I skip the interviews.

This is such a delightful collection of praise to our Heavenly Father. Deitrick sings from his heart and wants to get across to us his love for the Lord. This is enjoyable to both young and old. I do believe he has made his mark. Keep praising the Lord and telling your story!

All praises be to GOD and HIS perfect holiness! I love this CD. It has great ballads & bumps. This young man is truly anointed. I've also seen his "Chainbreaker" video. That is also a definite "must have" and so is this CD. GET IT! GET IT! GET IT!

How are you doing so when is are CD coming out tell me very soon call me at 861-3394 or 272-8753 contant me as soon as possible

P.S Hugs and kiss.
