"I Will"...continue to listen to this cd!
This is what real anointed, young, Gospel sounds like. Its not forced to be "young sounding", it just is. Although you hear more of today's generation, a person who listens to John P. Kee would still like this album because you can still hear that influence. 5 Stars all the way

Love Love Love ..... Great Cd
Love this cd. I saw them on TBN with Kirk Franklin and they sang the song "Yours" and I was like Imust get their Cd because that song is great. So, I went out and brought it and so far I am in love with it. My fav. songs are Yours, Surrounded, I Will, Latter Rain, Cover Me.

This is a 7 star album!!!!DEFINETELY!!
Recieved this album an hour ago and have played it repeately over 5x's now. AN ALL AROUND ALBUM. A true blessing for all.... All types even all ages. Smooth. Eclectic. Classical. Another level for this MAGNIFICENT and ANOINTED group. There's several tracks on here that will grab at your heart, spirit and soul. There's more piano as well as harmonica on this album which makes this particular album A GREAT LISTENER. New Flavor!! Guys keep up Gods' work. ... Read more

This album is fun and profound...
Amy Grant's "Collection" is a great place for anyone to get a taste of the first decade of Amy's musical career.This album includes most of her biggest hits and best songs.When I listen to this album, it brings me back to the days in the mid-80's when my family would listen to her cassette tapes in our car on family vacations.There really isn't a bad song on the album, though "Angels," "Sing Your Praise to the Lord," and "El Shaddai" are three of the best.As many times as I've listened to these songs, this collection is still a lot of fun, and it includes some great spiritual depth, as well.I'd recommend it for anyone.

Loved it
This CD is perfect in avery way. This has songs on it that other CD's do not have.. Great Great Great!!!!!

THE COLLECTION, track by track
(Since this is a compilation album, I am only going to review the two new songs and "Ageless Medley" since that is not included on any other CD.)

Heavy, but Beautiful.
This is an awsome extension to their album A Collision. I like bluegrass, or hoedown music and that is what most of this is. Some songs have a heavy feel to it, though. I believe this is so because it says in their "album booklet" that their pastor died. They already created an album about death, A Collision, but they didnt expect this. So they remixed or "Acoustic-ted" some songs. I like this album, and Im sure if you like David Crowder at all, you will like it too. P.S. I love the banjo.

Here it comes.. a beautiful collision!
David Crowder*Band produces another great album! B Collision is a great addition for any Crowder fan. With faves from A Collision remixed and reinvented, this album is a real gem. There are even a few live versions of some other greats like "I Saw the Light". Don't forget the full version of "Everybody Wants to go to Heaven". It is definitely one that gets stuck in your head!

Awesome Mix of Styles!
The CD has truly been proof that great music can still be created!

You people....
...will buy anything with the J word in it won't you?!Even the band they are ripping off is terrible in the first place.Pathetic.

Stellar Kart is STELLAR
I love Stellar Kart so much!! They sound like Relient K and Hawk Nelson mixed and i love both of those bands.

Let Down From "All Gas, No Brake"
First of all, nobody can argue that Stellar kart is defining boundaries in music. But that's not what they set out to do. This guys are pop punk, and with this album, much more on the side of pop. The effect on his voice (it's definitely not raw) gets old fast, and adds to the lack of distinguishable traits that would make their songs unique. Most of the second half blends into a one big piece of pop for me. But I do like Stellar Kart, I really enjoyed their first album, it was much less produced and much better, in my opinion. So from a fan that enjoys MxPx, Relient k, Hawk Nelson debut etc, I would not recommend this album. The first is much better, and it is money worth spending. And I definitely do not agree with the below reviews statement that it beats MxPx And Relient K's latest album. And the blink 182 reference doesn't make sense with me.

An excellent compilation of Amy Grant's songs
This CD is wonderful. It includes all of the best Amy Grant songs, and then some, even the song "The Next Time I Fall", featuring Peter Cetera. Also includes two new songs, "The Water", and "Come be with me", and a bonus CD with 4 variations of her songs. Well worth the $13 I paid for it. I'd recommend this CD to all Amy Grant fans.

Awesome artist!I'm so glad she released another album!!
I've always been fond of Amy Grant's music, since I was a young child up until now.She has a wonderful, captivating voice and her songs are so beautiful!I can't help it, but I've always been somewhat partial to Baby Baby(the Heart in Motion mix in particular).It's an excellent song and will put you in a romantic mood.I can remember well, the days when I was young, sitting in my room, listening to Amy's cds and singing along with her.She was my favorite!I haven't listened to her in a while but after all these years, I saw this album in the store and I fell in love with her all over again!Seeing it brought back such great memories!I do not own this album yet (I will soon, trust me!) but I have heard some of her previous work; some of which is in this collection.It's terribly good!I'm thrilled she released this!I know I can expect more great music from Amy Grant!!Amy Grant will not dissapoint...take it from a long time fan!
A wonderfully complete compilation of Amy's pop repertoire
Amy Grant has never been a huge star up here in Canada. She has her own little following north of the U.S. border, though, and this collection is a great reminder of the fact that she has had many successful singles indeed. But most of all, it's a true testimony to her strong artistic evolution over the past two decades. This woman has gone from a Christian music icon to a pop celebrity, only to transform herself once again as a convincing and personal singer-songwriter whose lyrics come from the heart - and aim straight at yours.Read more

I didn't want to like this cd. After all, her prior album wasn't anything to write home about. It was actually rather terrible. No offence to her... but there is good female pop and there is bad female pop. And her first album, the self titled one, didn't sound like anything except a label finding a girl to try and catch the Kelly Clarkson craze wave. Which is understandable. That is what labels... particularly Christian lables... do.

Stocking caps off to Mercyme, the best selling Christian rock band, for making a solid Christmas rock record that ranks as one of the year's best holiday releases. Read more

ExcellentChristmas music in different way
MercyMe went with a rock style Christmas album. I think overall they pull it off. Threre are a few selections I did not like.... Silent Night is one of them. It's country/folk style that does'nt fit the song. It came upon a midnight clear is a great track. I was suprised with "Rockin' around the Christmas tree" there is only a few version's I really enjoy, this is one of them. I love the originality of the old songs redone with a modern twist. I wish there was more "Christmas" sounding tracks or a few more Christmas classics. I'ts nice to hear Christmas music done well.Recommend!

Good for any Christmas collection!
This CD is a welcome new addition to my Christmas collection.It provides fresh new takes on older, lesser-known Christmas songs, most notably on "Christmastime is Here" from "A Charlie Brown Christmas."I especially liked "Joseph's Lullaby" (the only original track on the CD).Mercy Me continues to have a good easy-to-listen-to sound.Loved it!

Fantastic Christmas CD
Mercy Me is a phenomenal group and this CD reflects their greatness.I even listened to this when Christmas had come and gone.It has that "makes you feel good" sound to it.I recommend everyone own this one. ... Read more

Not Just For Amy Grant Fans
I'm pretty finicky about Christmas albums.I hate most of them.This one is probably in my top 5, and I'm not even much of an Amy Grant fan.It's one of those extremely rare Christmas albums by a popular artist that actually sounds like Christmas.The arrangements are very traditional without being boring, and even the nontraditional songs fit in very well and aren't too "pop-y". Amy Grant's voice is perfectly suited to this kind of music and she knows how to sing a wonderful song and just let its natural beauty speak for itself.I shudder to think of this same set of songs mutilated by Christina Aguilera's relentless moans and gratuitous runs.
A Christmas Classic
Amy's voice soars on this album. It is her best album vocally. The music is the kind of beautiful classical sound that makes you feel like you are in London or New England celebrating Christmas. There are many classic songs on this album, but the best track i believe is "Breath of Heaven". This is centered around a beautiful Piano and it gives you a sense of what Mary might have been feeling while on her way to Bethlehem to give birth to Jesus. I will give you a few lines in no real order....."I wonder what I've done...Holy Father You have come and chosen me now to carry your son"......."Do You wonder as you watch my face, If a wiser one, should have had my place, But I Offer all I am, for the mercy of Your plan".....Wow, how beautiful is that. This album is just another classic in Amy's amazing history.

Christmas Memories

Editorial Review

Amy Grant's first Christmas album is not only one of the best recordings of her career, it's easily one of the best contemporary Christmas collections available. Grant's Christian beliefs have been incorporated into her music for years, and maybe it's the artistic translation of the depth of her faith that makes these songs so inspiring. "Emmanuel" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" have Grant's vocals soaring, especially on the sustained chorus of the latter.Her country roots show nicely in "Tennessee Christmas," while "Sleigh Ride" is as fun as it is romantic. "Heirlooms" is particularly poignant--maybe not to the point of "hand me a tissue," but it's powerful all the same. A must for fans, and a good holiday addition for those looking for a Christmas record that comes without the cobwebs. Read more

Enduring Christmas favorites
This year for our church Christmas concert, we are doing a collection of Michael W. Smith's Christmas music.To my delight, two of the songs - Emmanuel and Christmas Hymn - were ones I fell in love with twenty years ago while listening to this collection on cassette.Warm and bright, and still as fresh now as it was in the early 80's, this is still one of my favorite Amy Grant albums AND one of my favorite Christmas albums.

My Favorite Christmas Album
I have been a lifelong fan of Amy Grant's music, and this album is the reason why. my mother has the old LP of this album, and every year she played it at Christmastime, so when I saw that Amazon carried the CD version, I had to have it. The vocals are amazing, and the album is a blend of old and new. A good example is "Little Town", which is "O Little Town of Bethlehem" set to a contemporary melody. Some of the songs Amy Grant wrote herself, such as "Tennessee Christmas", and "Love Has Come". Amy Grant's hit "Emmanuel" is also included on this CD. A must have for Amy Grant fans, as well as lovers of Christmas music.

The Best Christmas Album....
This has been my favorite Christmas album since I was a little girl. It isn't Christmas without it!!! ... Read more

Revive Me According To Your Loving Kindess!
Jeremy Camp proves worship doesn't have to fit into one kind of genre.Praise and worship is about the passion that goes into worshipping God.And Jeremy definitely has the passion.This CD is a nice balance of older praise songs (You're Worthy Of My Praise and I Will Trust In You), recent popular praise songs (Chris Tomlin's Enough and Wonderful Maker as well as Tim Hughes' Beautiful One), and praise songs written by Jeremy Camp (Revive Me, Longing Heart, and Carried Me).Standouts on this CD include Enough, Beautiful One (excellent!), Revive Me, Empty Me, and Longing Heart.The only song that is out of place is "Walk By Faith," only because we have heard this song (and it sounds like the same version) on Jeremy Camp's "Stay."If he would have given a completely new version (like just an acoustic guitar and vocals!), then it would have been cooler.Oh well.All in all, this CD is near flawless and it will have you singing to Camp's powerful voice.I also bought the songbook that goes along with this so I could play guitar with it and play some of the songs for praise and worship at church (it was on sale although I probably could have gotten the chords off of the internet, but at least I know it is accurate).If you do not have a Jeremy Camp album, this is a good album to start with since you will probably recognize some of the songs.

Camps' music is a must for you collection!
Glory and Honor to our Father God and Lord Jesus Christ!
Powerful Worship!
I am not into Christian Contemporary Music but this album to me does not seem like overly pop or produced Christian anthems for androids.First of all Jeremy Camp has a refreshing and deeply inspirational sound.You can really feel the empotion and heartfelt praise just in his vocals.He has soul, something most contemporary Christian albums lack.

Be still my soul
This cd ministers to my heart and soul and leaves me wanting to here more from this "new" Gaither Vocal Band.Their voices are superb together and I could listen to them all day long.My 4 year old granddaughter sings along and that brings me more joy than you know.

As good as I Do Believe...
I didn't think GVB would ever be able to match or better their previous I Do Believe recording. I was wrong. The content of Give It Away is just as good. Of course, we all miss David Phelps' vocals and Mark Lowery's humor (there is very little humor in Give It Away). However, I think the two newcomers (Wes & Marshall) have done an astounding job! I have no issue with the vocals on Give It Away. There are many songs you will play over and over (Eagle Song, I Will Go On, A Place Called Hope, etc.) and there are a few not so good... typical of any recording. Overall, Give It Away equals I Do Believe in my opinion. Both are a treasure...

average, maybe a little less
This CD was pretty disappointing. I was prepared for the inevitable drop off without David Phelps. (if you have never heard him sing, I think you should stop reading this and pick up 'God is Good!') But what makes this CD a let-down is the song selection. There aren't really any songs that I went back to again and again. Glorius Impossible and Journey to the Sky are both good songs, really good, and Marshall Hall is awesome on baritone, but...this CD just doesn't make you want to keep listening to it over and over. ...

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and she really enjoys it, we really enjoy it. The songs are inspirational and uplifting. We like to listen especially in the morning on our way to school and work. It really gets our day going. Worship Jamz are cool, my daughter says.

Amazing metal masterpiece
Whenever I play this, I cant help but windmill and headbang until my nose bleeds. This blows away Reign in Blood and Beneath the Remains easily, I mean come on, Slayer and Sepultura are wussies compared to these guys.

Editorial Review

Tennessee Ernie Ford's warm, commanding baritone lives on most dramatically in his vivid rendition of the Merle Travis-penned coal miner's song "Sixteen Tons," which topped the national charts in 1955. But by the 1960s, Ford, a leading entertainer in his time and host of an NBC-TV variety show that ran from 1956 to 1961, had turned heavily to sacred music. By the time of his death in 1991, he'd recorded no fewer than 81 albums of gospel and spiritual music. Some of Ford's most memorable hymns are collected in this ample set, which includes both the familiar ("How Great Thou Art," "Rock of Ages") and the relatively obscure ("When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart," "Blessed Assurance"). Across the years, Ford's voice continues to echo with heartfelt earnestness and warm reassurance that soothes the soul and transcends the test of time as he magnificently makes these gospel masterpieces his own.

What will people think?
When I was in high school, my dad got me "Free at Last", and I'll be blunt: I hated it! Back then I was looking for something that would not only be good, but sound good, and I was a new Christian. A few years later after I'd graduated, my best friend told me he had the latest dc Talk, "Jesus Freak". And believe you, me, I was big time like... WHO CARES! He asked me to just give it a chance, and after listening to the title track, I WANTED IT! Today? I still love it!
Just a few little missteps...
I own all of the DC talk CDs and this one is probaly my favorite.The only missteps are:Mrs.Morgan,and the Jesus freak reprise.My favorites are :so help me God,colored people,Jesus freak,what if i stumble,between you and me,like it,love it and need it,in the light,and mind's eye.I really recommend this!

best of...
One of the best of all time.Every song is different and amazing.The recording quality is a tad rough, but that was the times.This is tied with Delirious's "World Service" for greatest Christian CD ever. ... Read more

I absolutely LOVE it!
I have followed David's career since 1998 when I went to my first Homecoming Concert.I thought he was absolutely terrific then, and I think he is even better now.He has so much God-given talent and a real love of God.I was able to attend his "Legacy of Love" concert this month in Amarillo, and it was truly amazing!I love his new cd/dvd.I think it is very professionally done but at the same time, down-to-earth and his music touches my heart every time I hear it.His voice is beyond amazing, and his song-writing talent is, too. I would absolutely recommend this latest project to anyone and everyone, and I can't wait until the 2nd part is released!

Great 1st effort!!!
After awhile of seeing David with the Vocal band, he's been in alot of videos.This is his first solo effort at a video, and though it's not quite as polished as a lot of the Gaither video's are, that comes with practice and overall, I think it's a really good first effort.This is the first of what will be 2 DVD's from the same concert.I'll review a few of my favorites.
Fabulous
David constantly amazes me with his beautiful songs. His voice is a gift from God and it is beautiful. No other artist have captured my attention like David has. I could listen to him all day without getting bored. He is amazing ... Read more

Spiritual oxygen.
Mother Theresa or Mother Angelica said, "Make something beautiful for God." Whoever said it, Beth Chapman was listening when she produced this collection of hymns. Because of B.N.C.'s experience of personal heart-ache that preceded this recording, there's a touching dose of holy sobriety in her delivery. After listening to some snippets on-line, I first bought this for my Mom who is in her 70s. Since I finally bought another copy for myself a few weeks ago, it has dominated my car CD player. My 28 year old son, who doesn't know this pre-Vatican II repertoire, absolutely loves it. This is timeless, edifying stuff -- no artificial ingredients. Thank you, Beth. I'm so glad I found your Hymns project.

Breathtaking renditions of sacred music
Chapman takes some of the Christendom's most beautiful music and lends a simple reverence to it that works wonderfully well.She's also written a very sweet new hymn to Mary.I buy virtually no music - my collection is already sufficient. But I only had to hear a bit of one song - Panis Angelicus - to get me onto iTunes for this album.

Revival in Belfast
Wonderful music. I was actually looking for two of the songs that are on the CD but didn't realise it was recorded live. For me I like music more when there isn't any of the interaction that goes on with a live recording, but overall not a complaint.

The total is greater than the sum of the parts
I was familiar with selections from this disc, but the complete disc is simply joyful. I'm not sure I've ever made a purchase with such high expectations and had them exceeded. The music is distinctly Celtic, the musicians skilled and in synch, the singers full of praise, and the whole package praises our glorious God and Savior at every turn.

Amazing
This album is an amazing and remarkable album.

Transcending Tunes
I initially was given this music when my children were very young. They are now all grown but the memory of rocking my babies in the wee small hours to the most uplifting and calming music stayed with me.I now give this as a gift to others I love who are looking forward to parenthood.I remember, not only did it provide a peaceful background for my children to drift into slumber, but it lifted me beyond the concerns of the day to thoughts of prayerful gratitude and internal expressions of praise to our Creator for the precious gift of life. I highly recommend.

The background music of our lives
We started playing this CD for our baby when he was 4 months old and not sleeping almost at all at night.It now plays almost constantly at our house, as we keep it on auto repeat all night and a good part of the day when he's napping.It is such soothing music, I can even fall asleep to it (which is important since we play it even when we travel and the baby sleeps in our room.)The tempo is perfect for rocking or patting baby to sleep in time with the music.My only complaint (if it can even be called that) is that the range is too high for me to sing along.But the music is beautiful, and it's nice to know that my baby is listening to sacred lullabyes all night long.Michael Card's arrangement of the Mizpah Benediction at the end of the CD is especially beautiful.All in all, although I can't say that this was the "magic pill" that made my baby sleep through the night, it has helped him sleep longer and better, and is soothing to listen to as I resettle him night after night.

Sleep Sound in Jesus - AWESOME
This is an AWESOME CD!!!When I was growing up I put each of my 5 brothers to sleep with it...and now that I'm pregnant and expecting my first, I've gotten it again and am listening to it.I love Michael Card's voice (He DOES sing in this, contrary to what one person said).
