Greatest Hits from the Greatest Christian Acappella
You would think it wouldn't take 60 albums for a group to record a greatest hits album. I have no idea why it took so long, but I'm glad they did. I own almost all of their albums and having their greatest hits on one CD is awesome. This album is jammed with spiritually moving songs.
I particularly like the additions to this album that were not on a previous album... Teaching the Truth in Love, Special Delivery, and the Medley.
"Teaching the Truth" deserves its place on a greatest hits album and is one of the most popular Acappella songs of all time (it climbed high on the Christian charts). "Special Delivery" is good song to think about what God has given us. "The Medley" is perfect for the album because they just couldn't fit all of their great songs on one album (since they waited so long). So, they just made a Medley of alot of their older songs that deserve their places in the Greatest Hits.
This album is a must-have for all Acappella fans and is a great introduction to the group for non-Acappella fans. It has 17 tracks, including the Medley which is over 10 minutes and contains about 8 song parts.
Good stuff...
For any fan of a cappella music, this is a great album to own. In my humble opinion, Acappella as a group has had a somewhat spotty album history. Some of their albums have been great, and some have been fairly non-descript. It doesn't help that the roster of the group is always changing.
In any case, this release is a fantastic collection of their songs, some new (in 1998) and many old. Some of my favorite tracks are "Special Delivery" (what a great bass line!!) and "Walkin' That Line" (what a great tenor line!!).
If you want one collection of this wonderful Christian a cappella group, this is a great choice. I always enjoy listening to it!!
Phenominal vocal group
I recently had the pleasure of seeing these guys in concert. As a music lover in many types of music, this is the one concert I will treasure forever. The ministry of this group has touched many people over the years and their passion for what they do touched everyone in that auditorium that night. Even though the names have changed over the years, the talent and message have remained the same. Give glory to our creator. What makes these guys so special is their unbelievable harmonies and wonderful mix of "traditional" gospel songs to fresh new songs, mostly penned by the groups founder Keith Lancaster. You will not be disappointed with any of their ~15 albums and this is a superb collection and a good start if you are new to Acappella. Most of their songs are just the 4 voices with ocassional percussion mixed in on other songs. If you love vocal music and harmonies with a true message, these guys are as good as it gets - period.
