5 comments about Hillsong - Mighty To Save Live.

1. Awesome DVD. The live worship was awesome and a blessing! The 2nd DVD has great teaching resources on worship and playing the songs with guitar and other instruments.
   
   Highly recommended!



2. The Hillsong team leads an arena full of people into musical worship for 18 songs. The musicians and the audience seem to be completely focused on God, unaware of the many cameras that are capturing everything. Just a powerful and moving display of praise.
   
   The drum workshop on the bonus DVD is excellent, teaching drummers to play 3 of the 18 songs. It's pretty detailed, explaining the feel of the song before demonstrating each part of the song. There's also a guitar workshop and two documentary features on the bonus DVD.



3. This DVD is very highly recommended. I have had this DVD for about 2 months and it is always a blessing whenever I play it.



4. Hillsong church has God's anointing on their song writers. The music is great, the lyrics are reflective of hearts. Relevant worship that will lift your spirit to enter His presence.



5. Although not a fan of the swirling cameras and jump cuts in the DVD, the music is excellent. As a guitar player in a praise band, I found the guitar workshops very helpful. They show you how to play a few songs (3) and share what effects they use to get their sound. If you play in a praise band and want to get your tone closer to Hillsong, this DVD will definitely help (with a little practice of course!)

5 comments about He Touched Me, Vol. 1-2.

1. Much has been published about Elvis and just when you think you have read, seen and heard it all, along comes "He touched me". It shows the spiritual side of Elvis, a side he maintained throughout his life, a spirituality that is demonstrated in this dvd. I thoroughly recommend "He touched me" to one and all.



2. Gospel was a big part of Elvis' life and this DVD explores that side of him indepth. I've seen this wonderful DVD about 5 times and each time it brings tears to my eyes. I liked hearing the stories about him and I wish he was still around, but he lives on in all of our hearts.



3. No one sings gospel like Elvis. This DVD gives a history of the influence of gospel music on Elvis' life. God loves a joyful noise, but in Elvis' case, God enjoyed hearing gospel music at its best, rather than the noise of the untalented. This DVD is a must-have for any Elvis fan! *****5 stars!



4. I really loved this video. I found it very moving and it showed a side of Elvis that is often forgotten - one of his roots and of his special relationship with God, and the true man he was. I would recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the real Elvis.



5. If you're an Elvis fan, then you need this DVD. His Gospel music is by far the best their is.

5 comments about Alive in South Africa.

1. I cant say how blessed I am to have purchased this item. Israel and New Breed are annointed and gifted, and they have blessed millions around the world, but the experience in South Africa is hard to put into words.
   Songs such as Alpha & Omega, Not Forgotten, I Will, and featuring Jonathan Butler was a true treat. In addition to the DVD, I had to get the cd so I can hear the music whereever I am!



2. Excellent! Awesome! are the words to describe this Album by Israel and New Breed. Pure Excellent!!!! Takes me into the presence of the LORD.
   Thank you Israel!



3. Israel and his crew were blessed to be on the Mother Land. I truly enjoy the song "All Around me". The beat; the words; the sound. Just awesome.

4. I am extremely pleased with this item. It is actually one of the best purchases that I have made from Amazon. I plan on ordering some copies for friends and family in the future.



5. I feel like I'm in Africa. My baby-cousin bought this cd home from college, and the tears will not stop. It is filled with the spirit--you can hear and feel the power of the spirit in this music. I had never heard of Israel before this, how blessed--Wow! That's all I can say.

5 comments about Be Still My Soul: The Ultimate Hymns Collection.

1. "Be Still My Soul: The Ultimate Hymns Collection" attracted me because "Be Still My Soul" is my favorite hymn. It is a wonderful collection of spiritual songs and hymns that lift the spirit, raise the heart, and inspire your soul. I heartily recommend it! I suffer from manic-depression and as David used music to soothe the troubled soul of King Saul; as Martin Luther recommended that depressed people sing and play loudly hymns of faith and extolled music as second only to theology in benefit to people; I also recommend this and similar collections as an aid in depression. "Be Still My Soul; the Lord is on thy side!"



2. This is exactly what it says....a wonderful collection of great traditional Hymns sung by a traditional church choir. No disappointments. Excellent stuff.



3. The hymns chosen aren't all the best, meaning it slows down a few times in the long runtime of the CD, but the quality and selection overall are good -- I particularly like the closing track, "The Holy City." If you're looking for a decent collection of hymns done in the traditional style (organ and choir with some vocal solos), this is a fine choice.



4. A SOUL-SATISFYING AND JOYFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE!
   
   Come on now; let's judge this album on its own merits. Firstly, the Statler Brothers( retired now) have been OUTSTANDING country music performers; far from third-rate!!! I am not a country music fan, but I do know GOOD singing when I hear it!!!!!! Their recommendation of this disc is a compliment to the producers of it, and for the choirs on it. Does it really matter whether they are English, American or from Upper Slobbovia???????
   
   
   This is an excellent representation of hymns in general; and it is good to hear that some of the more traditional hymns are alive and well. There is no one that performs them better than the British choirs!!!Their hymn tradition goes back for centuries, and many of the hymns we hear today in this country have a direct relationship to that heritage.
   
   
   A quote from John Rutter (an Americanized Englishman, and director of the Cambridge Singers, from his own album "Sing,ye Heavens") : "Hymnody is forever changing......the emergence of pop and folk-influenced worship songs and choruses, whose worth time will tell.....Perhaps it is time to reflect on the immense riches of hymnody built up over so many centuries, and to be reminded of them at a time when they are at risk of neglect."
   
   Therefore, those of you who will, listen to this album with joy and not with the idea of finding something wrong, because you won't be successful.



5. I deeply appreciate the quality of this collection of well known hymns. They are sung with expression and clear diction. The accompanying music enhances the message rather than dominating the words sung. As a whole the words and accompanying instrumental music provide a very rich worship experience.

2 comments about It's Over.

1. This Album goes in different directions and is very different form True Story,but it's a keeper. the songs are heart felt Great jo b Sean "SS" God Bless



2. Sean Simmonds ignores the typical 'sophomore slump' rule in this one. "Its Over", the follow up to his debut, "True Story" is a smashing hit. It brings great beats with the Word of God that is easily applicable to situations commonly faced in today's world. This is a Must-buy album that sets the bar for all urban Gospel artists here on out ( including heavy weights like Deitrick and MaryMary).

2. Me encanto el video, es de buena calidad y era lo que yo esperaba por mi dinero.
   Me encanto la parte donde cantan con sus invitados y en especial con Don Omar. Simplemente buenisimo

5 comments about The John Michael Talbot Collection: A Library Of 35 Favorite Songs.

1. These cds are enjoyable musically and lyrically. The lyrics are not as poignant as some of his other works. However, each work does it's work in ministering. That is more important than being schohlarly.



2. Excellent CD would highly recommend it. The selection is great and the songs are beautiful. The record label picked a wide selection of great songs from his massive music collection. His voice is so calming and the music is wonderful. A great CD for the person who is just starting a collection of Christian music.
   
   Jason or Peter.



3. As always, John Talbot is outstanding. This was quite a value for all of the songs on the 2-set CD.



4. John Michael Talbot's beautiful voice shines through each selection making the entire collection a peaceful & uplifting gift to the listener.



5. I actually bought this cd by chance. I was surfing on Amazon when I accidentally clicked on this album. I decided to listen to a few of the clips and immediately I knew I had to pick up this gem. Praise the Lord for music like this! In these times of cheesy commercialized songs, Talbot's music stands out with strong Biblical lyrics and haunting peaceful melodys. I just recently had surgery and during my recovery this album has brought me much comfort. I definitely recommend these 35 songs for your collection. Thank you.

1. THIS DVD TALKS ABOUT THING'S WE STRUGGLE WITH AND HOW GOD WILL PURGE THEM AWAY AS WE GO THROUGH THE FIRE AND TRIALS OF LIFE. THIS IS A WONDERFUL MESSAGE AND WILL BALANCE YOUR THINKING AND HELP YOU TO LET GO AND LET GOD DO THE WORK THAT ONLY HE CAN DO.



2. Like always, jakes uses his powerful gift of exposition to bring out hidden nuggets and truths. A must have dvd.

5 comments about Al Green - Greatest Hits.

1. All the songs that made Al Green the celebrated artist we have all come to know and L-O-V-E!



2. The music itself is great but the condition of the CD was not what was explained. There were scratches on the cd and the case was in pretty bad shape. When a product is advertised as "mint" or "almost new" you don't expect it to be in a worn out condition.



3. Al Green, born on April 13, 1946 in Forrest City, Arkansas, began his long road to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (inducted in 1995) by singing gospel as part of the Greene Brothers before relocating to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1959, and landing with the Fargo label in 1960 at age 14. In 1964 he joined The Creations and remained with that group through to 1967, and from 1967 into 1968 became part of The Soul Mates with brother Robert and Lee Virgins.
   
   Late in 1967 he scored his first hit single for Hot Line Records when Back Up Train began its climb to # 5 R&B/# 41 Billboard Pop Hot 100 early in 1968 b/w Don't Leave Me, billed to Al Greene & The Soul Mate's (sic). He then went solo, at first cutting sides with Bell Records before settling in at Hi Records, where his initial hit there came in early 1970 with You Say It (# 28 R&B b/w Gotta Find A New World). In July 1970 he returned to the R&B charts with Right Now, Right Now, a # 23 b/w All Because (I'm A Foolish One). Unfortunately, none of these tracks are included here.
   
   Then, late in 1970, he had his first cross-over hit with Hi when I Can't Get Next To You finished at # 11 R&B and # 60 Hot 100 b/w Ride Sally Ride, only to be followed by the disappointing finish of Driving Wheel in spring 1971 which stalled at # 46 R&B/# 115 Hot 100 "bubble under" b/w True Love (neither included here). But that summer he really began to be noticed when Tired Of Being Alone peaked at # 7 R&B/# 11 Hot 100 b/w Get Back Baby, followed in December by his huge hit, Let's Stay Together which not only made it to # 1 on both the Hot 100 and R&B charts, but also dented the Adult Contemporary charts at # 36 b/w Tomorrow's Dream.
   
   In the spring of 1972, Look What You Done For Me made it to # 2 R&B/# 4 Hot 100 b/w La-La For You, and that summer he had his second # 1 R&B hit when I'm Still In Love With You reached that spot as well as # 3 Hot 100 and # 33 AC b/w Old Time Lovin'. On the heels of that, Bell released a side he had cut there in 1967, Guilty, and it finished at # 29 R&B/# 69 Hot 100 in October b/w Let Me Help You (neither is here). The following month the Hi release, You Ought To Be With Me, started its climb to # 1 R&B/# 3 Hot 100/# 28 AC b/w What Is This Feeling?
   
   In the first part of 1973 he had two straight # 2 R&B/# 10 Hot 100 hits for Hi with Call Me (Come Back Home) b/w What A Wonderful Thing Love Is, and Here I Am (Come And Take Me) b/w I'm Glad You're Mine. In that same early period, Bell again released a side cut there in 1967, Hot Wire, which stalled at # 71 Hot 100 b/w Don't Leave Me in February. Late that year had his fourth R&B # 1 with Livin' For You, which also reached # 19 Hot 100 b/w It Ain't No Fun To Me.
   
   1974 produced two hits, Let's Get Married (# 3 R&B/# 32 Hot 100 in April/May b/w So Good To Be Here), and Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy), which finished at # 2 R&B/# 7 Hot 100/# 28 AC in November b/w School Days. He then kicked off 1975 with his fifth R&B # 1, L-O-V-E (Love) which also reached # 13 Hot 100 b/w I Wish You Were Here, and that summer had Oh Me, Oh My (Dreams In My Arms) finish at # 7 R&B/# 48 Hot 100 b/w Strong As Death (Sweet As Love) - neither included here). But his sixth # 1 R&B is here, Full Of Fire, which also made it to # 28 Hot 100 in December 1975 b/w Could I Be The One?
   
   This Right Stuff release of a 1972 Hi album with added bonus tracks then skips over his next three Hi hits (Let It Shine - # 16 R&B in June 1976 b/w There's No Way and Keep Me Cryin' - # 4 R&B/# 37 Hot 100 b/w There Is Love - both from 1976, and I Tried To Tell Myself - # 26 R&B/# 101 Hot 100 "bubble under" in early 1977), before providing the minor hit Love And Happiness (# 82 R&B/# 104 Hot 100 "bubble under" in August 1977 b/w Glory, Glory, and Belle (# 9 R&B/# 83 Hot 100 late in 1977 b/w Chariots Of Fire.
   
   Al would add three more hits with Hi in 1978/79 before disappearing from the charts to return to his gospel roots, returning in 1987 with A&M where he added four hits to 1990, one in 1991 with RCA Victor, and his last in late 1995 with MCA.
   
   The sound quality is excellent, and with the insert you get a discography of the contents, although there are no liner notes, just a few more shots of Al performing.



4. what can you say, Al Green arguably had the biggest impact of any of the Memphis (or anywhere else) soul singers from the 1970's. His recordings on the Hi Label with the Hi Records house band (the "Hi Rhythm Section"-the Hodges Brothers and the Memphis Horns; Wayne Jackson and Al Love), and the genius of Memphis Soul Music Producer extroadinnaire Willie Mitchell redefined soul music at the time. All of Al's great songs are here, not one bad cut on this album. Still sounds fresh to-day.



5. Although I was not pleased with all the songs on this recording, the ones I wanted was there. Brought back memories galore. I recommend it .
