Product Description

The first lady of gospel is back with a new label, a new look and a new sound. With eleven Grammy Awards, seven Dove Awards and ten Stellar Awards, Shirley Caesar launches her own label, Shu-Bel Music in partnership with Artemis Gospel. One of gospel music’s most beloved divas brings you a soul stirring, foot stomping, and church clapping CD that is sure to move both gospel and non-gospel listeners, in this live studio recording. Shirley Caesar and Tonex deliver a groundbreaking performance where traditional gospel meets hip hop with the song I Know the Truth. "Working with Pastor Caesar was nothing short of amazing" says Tonex of his experience recording with Shirley Caesar, "People are going to be so surprised to see just how relevant she is even in the 21st century." The story songs that have become a trademark for Pastor Caesar are also captured in I KNOW THE TRUTH with songs like Jailbird and Every Day Is Like Mother’s Day.

By	selena I. Esparza "Selena Esparza" (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

God has been soooo good to me since I found my love in him and my Lord and savior Jesus Christ,I'm a member of this incredible woman's church for 3 yrs and you just don't know how much she and her husband Bishop Williams have tought me in their preachings,I haved learned to accept death when my family members leave me, and I know that we will be together agin,I lost my Best friend from the ages of 5 yrs old,I didnt find out she passed until 2 months later,then I lost an Aunt and at this time Paster had lost her sister,I felt her pain,saaaw her tears and still felt her passion and love for the Lord,I have been so busy with family and my husband I haven't been to church in about 3 weeks and I know Pastor is gonna tel me "Let her get a switch" this album had me crying while driving on the song "everyday is mothers day" I felt her pain through this incredible track,and I began to call on the Lord to help my mother touch,heal her heart and mind and body the Dr's can write you a presciption but JESUS can do the healing,I had the privealedge to witness Pastor and Tonex sing this title track on her Birthday"I hoped she liked the gift I got her" But above all this album is so amazing, I mean it has been anointed by God himself I know this is the truth because I could "FEEL" the healing of the Lord all through my body I HAD to pull over on side the road and let the spirit finsh what he started,This album is a spiritual healing album it touches EVERY pain and situation in ANYONE's life,If you have strayed from the LORD PLEASE IT'S NOT TO LATE CALL THE NAME OF JESUS RIGHT NOW.Halleuah Praise God, give him some PRAISE, He's worthy of an honorable praise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing! Pastor Shirley Caesar does it again., September 13, 2005

By	David Martinez "David Martinez" (NY, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was totally satisfied. I believe this is her best album. The song "I know the Truth" is excellent! "Touch, Heal and Deliver" is a good song, but I feel it has a little too much bass. I don't usually like songs about mothers - but I was surprised with my reaction with the song "Everyday is like Mother's day". I was really moved by that song! It's beautiful. "Miracles Still Happen" is awesome and very encouraging. Although tolerable, I really didn't love the song "Jailbird"...it's just not me. But "The debt I owe" was excellent in every way - music and Shirley's vocals. She sings the song as no one else could...and her timing in the song is fantastic! In my opinion, the two songs that best display her awesome vocals are "I've been Redeemed" (She sings it so lovely that I wish it wasn't a duet) and "Come To The Altar"...simply marvelous. All in all, my biggest complaint about the CD is that she sounds somewhat "far" in most of the songs. In other words, her voice is not always clear and it has NOTHING to do with her singing - it's all about the studio recording. Despite all of that - Shirley's new album blessed me so much. I absolutely LOVE it and I recommend it to everyone! Buy it as soon as you can!
