This CD is for anyone who likes to hear chiors singing Traditional Gospel music. It's great! They sing songs that you can actually sing in church! There's no Rap, no extra remixed beats, no loud guitar solos.... It's a GREAT CD. No matter where you're from or what generation you're a part of, you'll enjoy this one!!!

I don't know why more middle-aged white people like me don't listen to the Gospel Music Workshop. So much of white rock n' roll music comes from here. There has been a rich cross pollination through the years, I suppose, but white owes black more than black does white. Though it is the white man's recording studio. Anyway, it's hard to think of any music more exciting, it's brimmng with physical electricity. This is really the message. You don't really listen for the words, all the creativity is in the music and all the power is in the performance. This isn't a form of religious art that will inspire remorse of conscience, is anything that occurs in a mega-church going to lead to deep reflection? No. But there's a place for happiness, optimism and joy in life, your body and soul need it, and this is one of the few places you will find it. You have to listen to "My Father's House", one of the greatest songs ever written.
