A compilation album the 9th in this out standing series.
Just when I thought that Gotta Have Gospel 3 was the Best. Here comes WOW Gospel 2006 a double CD with 32 tracks to rock or quench any musical thirst. This album is compiled to cater for every musical taste or style. There is a blend of up tempo and mellow vibes. From Contemporary to classic and from worship to R&P and the story just goes on and on.
Cream Of The Crop !!!
This WOW CD is Awesome!!!!! WOW did it again, they chose the most popular artists with the greatest hits of the year and compiled it in this 2 cd package. Fred Hammond's song/ "I Will Find A Way, CeCe Winans/ Purified, Dietriche Haddon/God didn't give up on me etc!!!! I can go on and on. You will not be disappointed when you listen to this CD. Buy it !!!!!

OK
While I liked this album they could have added in songs from different fates like Derka's cover of "Boom, shake, shake the room" ... Read more

A Stunningly Beautiful Achievement
Every once in a great while a musical artist has come into my life and grabbed my intellect and emotions. In the past its been Judy Collins then Nanci Griffith and later Alison Krauss. One day I heard Natalie Grant's "Held" on Sirius radio's Spirit channel and was swept away. This has got to be one of the most beautiful recording ever made. I got the album "Awaken" the next day and there are songs on the album that are already among my all time favorites....especially "The Real Me" and "Home". This is a truly gifted artist who can phrase a lyric with incredible tenderness yet belt out with the best of them. I have not traditionally sought out Christian Music but Natalie Grant grabbed my heart and attitude toward Faith. I have a feeling that's just what she wanted to do....she is now on the above select list of artists that will forever move me....not
Highly recommended
Up until a few weeks ago I did not even know Natalie Grant.One night I found a website that had the video to "Held" and BAM! that was it.After watching and listening to that video I knew I had stumbled upon a very special person, and I ordered the Awaken album right there on the spot."Held" is one of those songs that transends all genres of music, and Natalie just poured her heart into singing it.Every song on the album is great, and Natalie's voice is topnotch.If you haven't seen the video to "Held" Natalie has been very kind to share it on her myspace.com page.

Powerhouse spiritual album that Inspires & uplifts me!
I'm 39 and am new to Natalie Grant, I had heard her last year when I d/l a song from her but for some reason didn't pay much attention to her. I wasn't ready yet or in the right frame of mind spiritually but now God knows I'm ready to recieve all things spiritually.

thank god for bands like mercy me
i think this album is great. i was reading alot of the other reviews and just had to write in response to some of them. i know we all hear music differently. some people seem to listen and hear mainly lyrics. i always hear the melody and the mix of the instuments. the lyrics for me are a bonus. with many of mercyme songs a huge bonus. now, that being said, not every song can be a hit. some of the other reviewers seem to think that every song should be a number one hit. that would be called selling out. let these bands write and perform from their hearts. there is a song on this cd entitled HERE WITH ME. the music in that song is as good as it gets. the chord structure is awesome. and when you add the extremely well thought out and meaningful lyrics to the music, you have a masterpiece, and that's what that song is to me. i couldn't believe that not one person mentioned this song in any of the reviews until the very last review which actually was the first. mike mcallister had mentioned that HERE WITH ME was his favorite song on the cd. i guess mike and i have something in common. thanks mike, maybe some day we can talk. as far as mercyme goes, i would highly recommend any and everything this band puts out. i feel bad for the people who will never experience bands like this. we are extremely lucky to experience MERCYME. also, the live dvd is a must have.

Good Worship experience
Take a few minutes to let go and let God.... listen to the upbeat, and uplifting.Good album.

1st and 2nd album are better.

Lyrics that are honest and though-provoking.
Reflections of Something is just that...songs that take a look at many aspects of life...struggles with self-worth and finding a place in this world, trying to comprehend mercy and grace, realization that God is always there, even when we turn away.
Listen to this fan
and you will not be disappointed. Both of Todd Agnew's CDs are full of really good stuff, to put it bluntly. I expect to wear both of my CDs out in the near future!

A 5 STAR RATING AND BEYOND....GOD SHINES THRU!!!
Todd isabsolutely and incredibly fabulous.As for me being a musician and into vastly different types of music,all I can say is WOW what a voice.The craftmanship of all the musicians are super great and so is the music.Very much like Creeds sound and Third Day all put together but also very differnet and unique as well.My favorite song on here is "MY JESUS".It stopped me dead in my tracks.The entire cd is super and speaks the truth about exactly how wonderful GOD is,how much HE loves and forgives us and how HE suffered the ultimate price for us.You can definately tell that Todd is filled with the LORD thru and thru.There is no doubt about that.I recommend this cd to everyone Christian or not.I feel that once you listen to Todd you will also experience GOD's Almighty Presence and abundant love and forgiveness.This cd makes you sit back and realize that honoring GOD in everyway is the best way.The only way!This music collection and Todd Agnew is a very wonderul gift from the good LORD above. ...

Editorial Review

It would be easy to pass off this latest Jars of Clay release as a marketing gimmick, especially as more and more Christian artists are turning to casting age-old hymns in their own creative image. Has the modern praise-and-worship songwriting well run dry or are artists truly looking back over time to gain that "renewed and refreshed perspective" as Jars describes this effort in the liner notes for Read more

Their best album yet.
Just try to listen to this in your car and not sing along.I dare you.
A very unique CD!
Jars of Clay have been reinventing themselves since they formed as a group. Since their previous CD, "Who We are Instead", the guys have added a rootsy and folk element to their sound, and with great results. This album is no different. Each song, even though a traditional hymn, gets a modern twist and the Jars of Clay touch. The instrumentation is awesome, with driving melodies and catchy choruses.
Excellent!!!
I love this cd. I love the old songs with the Jars of Clay style. This is my favorite cd! ... Read more

Brave-Nicole Nordeman
I personally only like one song on this album and that is the first one.The rest of the songs I think are boring.I like the slow pace of the songs but they lack alot of melody and chorus for all the other songs.

WOW.....MY NEW FAVORITE CHRISTIAN FEMALE VOCALIST
We sang tonight along with the music of Nichole Nordeman at our church Praise and Worship service.Crying with joy and sadness over the words to "Hold On", it became apparent to me that we never know where,when and how we will find the love of God.I can't wait to order the entire album of "Brave". This young woman not only sings with joy, but tells us the truth about a grace we cannot afford to reject!!!!! We all want to lead a whole and everlasting life.

First time Listener loves Nichole's passion for God!
I'm 39, have only heard Nichole Nordeman ONCE and that was months ago on a music choice digital cable channel I believe. I have listened to mostly secular music with some christian pop/rock/r&b etc mixed in on a regular basis but very recently that has CHANGED! Now it's overwhelmingly christian music and some secular music. With that happening my life I have found Nichole Nordeman by checking out a christian album thread on a website and decided to check out her samples on amazon!

Awsome!!!
Take,take,take it all!!! Take,take,take it all!!! I love this cd! I definatley think it's the best worship cd i've ever listened to!Anyone who doesn't like it is crazy.You should get itand all of their other cds too.

Exelente producto
muy contento me encuentro con mi nuevo DVD, ya que aun no llega a Chile, y tengo el honor de poder escucharlo.
Good, but not the best United album.
I have been a huge fan of United for the last 3 years, and love all of their albums.While United We Stand is good, it's a bit of a letdown from the great release of Look to You.There are a couple of good songs, i.e. "The Stand" and "From the Inside Out," but fewer than in previous releases.Most of the fast songs are indistinctive, and are very similar to each other.The DVD is well done. The documentary portion explains the development of Hillsong's youth ministry and the music video shows the passion of the youth and the leaders.This is another powerful release for United, but it leaves a bit to be desired. ...

Elvis was made to sing Gospel!
Very powerful performances and of course Elvis' voice is unmatched. He was made to sing Gospel. The only Grammys he won were for his Gospel recordings. An excellent collection. It includes not only official studio recordings, but also unofficial rehearsal recordings and some of the "Million Dollar Quartet" sessions.Some of these recordings are kind of rough and on others Elvis is obviously just playing around.If you are just wanting a collection of his more polished Gospel offerings, I would recommend the 2 CD "Amazing Grace" collection or the single CD "Ultimate Gospel" album.But if you want every Gospel song Elvis sung, this is the collection for you!

ELVIS GOSPEL CD - PEACE IN THE VALLEY SET
THIS IS THE SET WHERE I COULD FIND THE LORD'S PRAYER

THIS WAS THE MUSIC ELVIS WAS BORN TO SING
I'm in agreement with E. Lambeth's Spotlight review. I was born in 1960 and I was lucky enough to have a mother who absolutely loved the BIG E. Mom never owned or played any of his Gospel music, except for the handful of Hymns from his wonderful CHRISTMAS ALBUM. (That record was the family favorite.) Recently I've been rediscovering the roots of my upbringing in music and buying a lot of Elvis Box Sets, movies, and Live DVD's. I love E'S Gospel hit CRYING IN THE CHAPEL and I wanted some of his Gospel recordings. I made the mistake of purchasing the single CD, ELVIS ULTIMATE GOSPEL. By the end of the first listen I knew I had made a tremendous error. It was such a gorgeous experience I was overcome with AWE. I wanted more. I needed more. Brothers and Sisters, I had sinned. I was coveting. Friends, do yourself a favor, commit a sin and buy this Box Set. You're gonna need it too. If you have to, cut back on the tithes for a month. Jesus will forgive and understand that it's necessary for your soul. The first 2 discs contain mostly the great production values of his best Gospel Hymns and a few Live ones, while the 3rd disc contains some alternate takes and many acoustic impromptu jams that remind me of E's '68 COMEBACK SPECIAL. Brothers and Sisters, I'm here to testify, this is raw, in-the-spirit, kicking-up-a-noise-for-the-Lord Gospel.

Excellent!
I can't believe anyone could call Michael W. Smith's performance on this CD "flat".
Could Be A Lot Better
This is an album with several good songs on it.I just don't think that they were done as well as they could have been.
Worship
I bought this CD recently, a few years after it was new.I was worried that it might be old even though it was new to me.This is a wonderfuld CD.I've listened to it a hundred times and I'm not tired of it yet.It has helped me draw closer to the Lord and my children love it too. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (aka Plumb) is somewhat of an enigma. She doesn't constantly grace the covers of magazines or music trades, yet her art is highly regarded in Christian (and beyond) music circles as both a songwriter and artist. She draws strong vocal comparisons to Dido and Amy Lee of Evanescence, yet it was the latter's own admission that her style is modeled after Plumb. Read more

The Best Album In The Hirstory of Forever!!!
This album is truly amazing! I think that Plumb is great! This is the only album I own of her so I don't know what the others compare to this one, but I've heard clips of Beautiful Lumps of Coal and I have "Stranded" from CandyCoatedWaterDrops and they do NOT compare to this. And J. Alfred, I really enjoyed reading a review from a different point of view. Now to the review:
Plumb Review
This is a great Chrisitan Rock cd.I enjoy the upbeat and slower songs and different sounds all on one cd.

It`s OK...
When I saw plumb had come out with a new album, I was pretty excited. I still, to this day, pop in Candycoated Water Drops every now and then, and honestly this album was pretty disappointing, I was suprised to see so many 4&5-star ratings.

The first time I heard "Let It Rise", which incidentaly was when they performed it live at a concert I was at, I was moved. This is another great album for BDW. Could not wait to grab a copy upon its release. Love the horns on one of the tracks, and the violin too, they add just the right flavor. "Let the songs of the Lord, rise among us!" Thanks BDW! ...

Every song skipped
I was very unhappy with the CD. Every song skipped the entire cd. It is very confusing to try to listen to the ABC song when every few letters, the song skips to a later part of the alphabet. For $4, it was not worth paying to ship it back and try again.

love it
My 16 month old granddaughter loves this CD.She knows a few of the songs and motions to go with them.When the music is on, she stops what she is doing and just sits and listens.

Awesome CD!!
This CD is great! We listen to it at home during lunch or playtime and in the car. My son is only 1 and he loves music. It has great songs, not too long, so they hold his attention. I highly recommend this CD. ... Read more

Wonderful, Fantastic, Worship!!
David Crowder Band...perhaps the best Christian rock band in history...now on tour w/ Third Day (which I will see live in Bethlehem, PA)...
a conduit
David Crowder Band's music is a conduit to a higher realm. Listening to it will bring you closer to our great God. David is a musical genius!

Jeff Majors One Of A Kind
Sacred Chapter 6 is simply a Master Piece, with track two on this incredible project "Gods Gift" in my opinion Jeff Majors greatest song in the history of his Sacred series. This song has all the ingrediants great writing, great instrumental tracks, and like Q, Jeff has a way of getting the right singer to bring to life his compositions, in this case Kelly Price. The rest of the project is a smorgasbord of Gospel classics. Five stars because thats all this site allows one to choose. Awesome job Jeff. ... Read more

Press(ing) On for Encouragement and Relaxation
I have enjoyed listening to Selah's Press On as they have an easy listening harmonic vocal blend with excellent choices of arrangements for new and old songs.The orchestration is beautiful.

Absolutely Great!!
I absolutely love the songs Selah has released. The words are VERY balanced with the music so you can REALLY understand them (with exception to those in the African language but that's another thing that makes them so unique and wonderful-the way they intertwine their "missionary roots".) Be sure to read the stories behind the songs inside the inserts. The songs are all so inspirational they bring tears to my eyes. Keep them coming SELAH!!
Say Se-lah!
Selah comes back with even more power in their second CD, 'Press On'. The first CD, 'Be Still My Soul', was a perfect collection of hymns, reamped to fit a very soulful and expressive group of singers. 'Press On' carries the banner on with songs such as 'There Is A Fountain', 'Wonderful, Merciful Savior', and more, including some African renditions (Todd and Nicole Smith were missionary kids living in Africa) of hymns.

Be Still My Soul - by Selah
If you enjoy classic gospel music this CD is for you.I love all the songs and Selah has a unique version of each classic hymn.I believe it is one of their best CD's along with "The Hiding Place."Both makes your soul want to worship our Saviour and joyfully sing along.

I finally found the Christian music I was looking for!
I have realized since having a child that I am rather critical of the arrangements of many music CDs for kids.This CD is wonderful.All of the reviews are true.The Cedarmont Kids are singing in a "normal" manner and are easy to listen to.By normal I really mean just plain singing by kids that you can listen to for an extended period of time.This is not a jazzed up CD which is what makes it perfect for me. I really wanted a few CDs of Christian music that included songs that I heard as a child.This CD is so well produced that I feel it would be a welcome addition to any Christian parent's CD collection.I think that I may start including Cedarmont Kids CDs in my baby shower gifts since this is one item that can be used for several years.

Cute sunday schoo songs
The two tracks - one with just music is great for the Sunday School.

Jesus Loves the Little Children
We were put on this earth to worship the Lord.This cd trains children in the area of worship.It sets the roots for a Godly life.When my daughter sings these songs with her whole little heart I am sure that the Lord is dancing to her praises.If you are open to suggestions on how to worship and praise God, this cd will surely act as a catylist.
