5 comments about What a Wonderful World: 26 Inspirational Classics.

1. I have been a fan of Anne Murray for years, both listening to her recordings and seeing her in concert several times. The song selection on this CD is very good. The production is one the worst I have ever heard on a CD. The sound fades in and out. At the times when the sound isn't fading the production is simply bad. I listened to the CD one time and don't think I can bear listening to it again. The sound isn't that bad on the Amazon previews therefore, I didn't expect this at all. I was considering the purchase of another of Anne's recent CDs but now I am wary and may not do so.



2. If you are an Anne Murray fan you HAVE to listen to these two CDs! Out of this world!



3. I ordered a CD of Anne Murray's 'What a Wonderful World' for my mother for Mother's Day. It arrived in a timely manner, was very reasonably priced and she loved it! One should never buy CD's or DVD's from anyplace but Amazon! It's convenient and very fast.



4. I enjoyed listening to the CD...I liked Anne Murray's music to begin with ..I sat in bed and listened till I was ready to fall asleep..When I feel down in the dumps I put in on and listen....



5. This is truly Wonderful. this is the second set that I have bought. wonderful when alone or with a group as everyone sing along. GREAT

1. This CD is amazing. I have the video as well and it sets the atmosphere everytime I press play.



2. This is a great Gospel CD. all should listen to it and enjoy! I listen as I am driving to work, and it helps me to prepare for the day.



3. To GOD be the glory! I LOVE this CD! I get chills and can feel the Holy Spirit come over me as I listen to this CD. This album is by far the best. I LOVE the song "Yes". Her voice is so powerful. It will bring you to tears. You will not be disappointed buying this CD!!!



4. Wonderful live worship. I like Shekinah Glory Ministeries music cos its always full of God's presence. The music is not too slow and not too noisy, I think it fits for majority of people.



5. I just purchased this Cd, and I must say "THE ANOINTING IS UPON THEM." There are few artists that I feel the anointing from when I listen to there "praise and worship." This cd, especially disc 2 is awesome when you want to worship God is the spirit of holiness. If you don't have it.......get it...and watch God bless you beyond understanding. Peace and Blessings!!

5 comments about 20/20.

1. First off, it sounds to me that Trip Lee has been baptised in the Holy Spirit. Good!! Some of his tracks on "20/20" are rather convicting and have something to say.
   I will admit, several of his tracks have beats and melodies with production quality that equals, if not surpasses, much of the mainstream hip hop/rap of the radio. That is a good sign (hopefully, it will be more appealing to secular audiences - this goes for the people who only listen to the beat, and/or to the people who prefer lyrics over beat - or whatever). Personally, I thoroughly enjoy multiple tracks on this album due greatly to the beat and melody.
   On to the lyrical side of the album. Here is where I feel the album faulters. While much of what Trip Lee raps about is very true and awesome, considering he is glorifying Jesus Christ to the utmost, I think that some of the tracks on this album aren't quite individual enough; they don't really stand out to me and they seem repetitious of previous tracks on what they are trying to get across. I get the feeling that a few of these tracks were made by first creating a cool beat then just putting some familiar words and truths into the rap. On top of that, some of the tracks seem like Trip Lee's voice gets kind of mixed in with the sound of the beat, rather than standing on top of it, thus leading it to be harder to some to decifer exactly what he is saying.
   BUT!! On the positive side, there are some tracks on here that are completely contrary to what I just said. Great quality. Amazing beats/melodies mixed with outstanding lyrics that can, indeed, be heard above the background (thus, creating a foreground and background in the first place). Along with the word "outstanding" to describe the lyrics, I would also use the word "constructed," having aim and a more specific point to get across. "True Security" and "Eyes Open" are prime examples of such.
   Also on a positive note, there are a few guest rappers(Lecrae, Sho Baraka, and Tedashii), which are nice small break-up qualities in a full-length rap album.
   All in all, 4 out of 5. Maybe I will see it's production as higher quality than I do now once I continue to listen to it for a long time, but in the meantime, I want to be honost (which may mean being critical!). None of that means I don't like the album.
   I recommend this album to anybody who can, first, handle hip hop/rap, and/or, second, who wants to be encouraged in Christ Jesus from the standpoint of the streets. But, heck, if you don't follow Christ, this is some tight rap, anyway (if you listen to rap songs about money and booty all day, why not give the raps about Jesus a shot, even if you don't believe. It's still music.).
   P.S. - I happen to not listen to hip hop/rap on a regular basis besides some Christian artists, so my fondness of the genre style of music may not surmount to one who has a larger bias toward hip hop/rap.
   P.S.S. - I really like the cover of the album. :) Also looks very well done and interesting.

2. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HIP HOP ALBUMS OUT PERIOD. HIS DELIVERY IS MUCH IMPROVED AND YOU CAN TELL THIS BROTHER IS IN HIS WORD. FOR THE OLDER HEADS WHO SWEAR THE EIGHTIES WERE THE END ALL OF HIP HOP, PLEASE GIVE THIS A LISTEN. CLING TO YOU MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST MATURE AND REVEALING GOSPEL OR RAP SONGS OF ALL TIME. THE CLARITY (BECAUSE OF CHEAPER ENGINEERING) COULD BE IMPROVED BUT THAT SPEED BUMP DOES NOT STOP THIS TRAIN. TRIP LEE CAN BRING IT PERIOD. THIS ALBUM WALKS THE THIN LINE BETWEEN SOUTH, MIDWEST SWING AND EAST COAST FLAVOR BUT TRIP LEE PULLED IT OFF. MANY HAVE TRIED BUT NONE I'VE HEARD HAVE DONE IT. 20 20 IS SOMETHING YOU WILL BE PLAYING IN THE PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE (5-10 YEARS). 2 GOD BE THE GLORY



3. This CD is a must for all Christian Rap fans. The lyrics are unique and heart piercing. I am excited to hear what's next for this gifted and Holy Ghost filled young man.



4. I can't stress enough how amazing this guy is. Thank God for people like Trip Lee. This album is just as good as his first one if not better. All the songs are worth listening to. You should definitely check this out!! You wont be disappointed.



5. Trip Lee spits hot on this album. I purchased it, and it has a mix of different artists, and a mix of emotions. Trip lets us know that it's not about him on this album, but it's about God. A lot of times in the good news rap, we get a lot of cocky emcee's. Trip is humble, and letting Jesus take it all. You can tell he is guided by the spirit on this album. I love it. I strongly recommend this album. If you like hip hop, and love tight flow, and craziness! It's all over the place, but still the subject remains the same, Trip denies himself, and lifts God up. Awesome album! Best to date in the christian genre.

5 comments about Awaken.

1. I ORDERED THIS PRODUCT OVER A MONTH AGO AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT!!! I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS SHIPPED 35 DAYS AGO AND I DON'T THINK THE US MAIL IS THAT SLOW!!!!!



2. Natalie Grant's Awaken CD is reverant, strong and soulful. I'm 50 years old and I've been immensely blessed by this CD. I reccommend this CD to anyone.



3. This is a good cd--not what I hoped for--but good. I LOVE the song, "Held"! I've listened to it about 20 times...guess you listen to what you really need at the time. She's got a very nice voice.



4. I love this whole CD! There isn't 1 song that I dont already have memorized!



5. I am addicted to this CD. I was wary of buying it because I only knew a few tracks and I wasn't sure I would like the rest of the CD. But after only a few sit downs with it at the office, I was like, I want to go back to that song, or the one with this line or that sound... What is so great about this CD is that the sounds are distinct. You know what song you're listening to even if it's in the background. And lyrically it is a powerful CD with tracks like "The Real Me" and "Make Me Over" that are the kind of song you listen to and wish you had written. I highly recommend this CD for anyone's collection.

2 comments about A Dream To Believe In, Vol. II.

1. Nicole C. Mullen has once again put together a worshipful and fun CD of her best. I am very pleased with this collection of music.



2. This album is about life and love. The music is great. The vocals, well Nicole does what Nicole does. I really enjoyed this album. Look Like Me and Brainwash will get you up and moving or just get you through your drive. Feel Like I'm in Love, Treat Her Like a Lady, and Start Over Again are about the relationship between husband and wife and/or man and woman. Yo Mama is about someone who takes interest in a child that no one else does. Take a listen. You will enjoy.

3 comments about Hymned No. 1.

1. The music is great. Bart Millard has an excellent voice. It has kind of Southern Gospel feel, and some of them kind of "jazzy." It's a good, fun album with a "twist" on some old traditional hymns.



2. Love it! Love it! Love it! Classic hymns with a modern beat.
   Both young and not so young will enjoy this CD.



3. If you like hymns,you should pick this album up. Bart Millard, of the band mercyme, is a great vocalist. He does an awesome job on these hymns. The dvd side makes it even better behind the scenes and in the studio with artist such as Russ Taff. I love Bart Millard in the band mercyme and He's lacking nothing with this new project!

5 comments about Going Home.

1. Morris Robinson has the richest, smoothest bass voice I have enjoyed in a while. The content of GOING HOME is comforting and encouraging; the sound is equally so. Robinson sounds as though he would be as comfortable at the Met as he is in a "down home" little church. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to give it as a gift to several friends.Going Home



2. Each time I listen to this CD, I get a little teary eyed because of all the emotion that is put into the music. I am currently working with Mr. Robinson in the Pittsburgh Opera's production of Aida where he is portraying Ramfis. Mr. Robinson has a wonderful rich, bass voice. He is alsom one of the nicest, most considerate performers that I have worked with. I wish Morris only the best in the coming years and hope I get to work with him again. He's going to be a huge star in the next few years.



3. Morris robinson has such potential. If you like powerful bass singing, you cannot help but find this man compelling. You could only write a negative review if you felt that no artist ever evolves, improves, or changes. Let's consider Paul Robeson- like Robinson, he was a big, commanding presence; football player in college (All American Rutgers),a singing talent forged more in the church than in a musical conservatory. His early work was recorded with minimalist accompaniment. I am persuaded that much of the glitzy background we hear nowadays is done to cover up deficiencies in the performer's voice. Robinson and Robeson both shine with instrumental support that is just barely above acapella.
   While I doubt that most artists read these reviews of themselves, I would have one hope for Morris Robinson: Stick to the lower registers and don't let some studio twit try to turn you into a baritone. You can retain feeling, control and power in 'deep water', which is a rare talent. Josh Groban can do what most baritones cannot do, yet some of his recent recordings suggest someone wants him to become just another tenor.

4. I heared a editorial about this guy on npr and it was pretty cool so i bought the cd. but in reality it is pretty cheesy and not very well organized. opera, gospel, and smooth jazz just dont go together that well. too bad cause morris has an amazing voice and it could have been a spectacular album, but i don't think they put that much energy into it. elevator music.



5. Morris Robinson's voice is swoon-worthy: so rich, resonant and true that this listener got cold chills listening to it for the first time. His pitch is always bang-on, he possesses an awesome breadth of expression and dynamics, and it is with regret that one hears the last note end. This CD was a gift from a friend, and I cannot WAIT to hear Mr. Robinson's operatic roles. That said, this collection of spirituals and gospel songs is superb. The arrangements vary from simple to a bit over-the-top, but they are all enjoyable, and with accompanying musicians like Cyrus Chestnut, who could go wrong? Highly recommended for lovers of this music and of beautiful male singing.

5 comments about At San Quentin.

1. Johnny Cash is undoubtedly as essential to American music as Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and Hank Williams. His contributions are admired by both country aficionados and rockers alike. On none of his releases is the reason why as apparent as with his "Live At San Quentin" release.
   
   Here, we're treated to rousing renditions of early Cash classics "Big River," "I Still Miss Somone," and "I Walk The Line" alongside revamped versions of "Folsom Prison Blues," "Ring Of Fire," and "Wreck Of The Old 97." Needless to say, the addition of Carl Perkins to the list of backing musicians has a great deal to do with the musical quality of this show! However, the musical highlights don't stop there:
   
   At San Quentin, Cash introduces new numbers / soon to be hits such as "A Boy Named Sue" and "Jackson," as well as the biting "San Quentin" and "Starkville City Jail." On the double-disc boxed set, Cash also welcomes upcoming act The Statler Brothers and bluegrass favorites The Carter Family (now consisting of Mother Maybelle and her daughters). No longer limited to merely country or gospel numbers, modern era folk and rock covers include the eclectic and often-covered "Break My Mind," the Lovin' Spoonful's "Darlin' Companion," Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing On My Mind," and Carl Perkins' classic "Blue Suede Shoes" (performed by the master himself)!
   
   Cash's passing would leave an empty space in American music, but the legacy of recordings he left behind and the artists he inspired (and continues to inspire) will deservedly live on as a true American treasure.



2. Everyone knows Johnny Cash is a legend, and this album shows why that is the case. Not only does it showcase his talent, but it gives you a glimpse of the person as well. Vintage Cash and worth every penny!



3. My husband loves this CD, but I have a hard time listening to the foul language and gospel music!



4. Great music from a classic singer. Now part of my collection of Johnny Cash items. Price was very low when ordered with other Amazon items.



5. My teenage son was so flipped out about getting this in the mail..We have listened to it everyday since..
   In great condition and fast service.. I would definately purchase from this seller again
