So how does Chris Tomlin follow up his 2006 Artist and Male Vocalist of the Year Dove Awards? Easy... he goes out and releases his best work to date with See the Morning, a superb collection of worship-flavored tracks that demonstrate Tomlin continues refining his art. As with the previous Arriving, producer Ed Cash is firmly at the helm and masterfully blending Tomlin's smooth vocals and his band's chiming guitars and rock-steady rhythm. The extensive road work that Tomlin and his band have done certainly shows in how tight See the Morning sounds. In fact, tracks like "Glorious" and "Awesome Is the Lord Most High" may even lose a little luster compared with how they sound live on Passion: Everything Glorious. No matter, as this release is much more about songwriting than it is about energy. For Tomlin, verse and chorus have never flowed smoother and sweeter than on "Glory in the Highest" and "How Can I Keep from Singing?" and first single "Made to Worship." Tomlin also offers a nice cover of Brenton Brown's "Everlasting God," slightly slower than Lincoln Brewster's fiery version on Let the Praises Ring but equally rewarding. Further highlights include the atmospheric "Uncreated One" and a new and pleasing twist on the classic "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)." Start to finish, See the Morning is Tomlin's most complete release and a strong argument for calling him one of this generation's finest songwriters in the modern church. --Michael Lyttle

Great music.......2007-07-05

A CD I have had for a while now and still play it often. Highly recommend - the words are great!

pure worship.......2007-06-30

How many times have you ever bought a cd where you could say every song was fantastic? When you put this on be ready to worship, because your spirit will be crying out to honor the Lord will all that is in you. I can listen to this cd over and over and over....I bet you will too.

Beautiful.......2007-05-28

One of the best CD's I've purchased in a long time. I love listening to it...it's very inspiring and calming.

Wonderful Worship Album.......2007-05-21

"See The Morning" is the first Chris Tomlin album that I've ever purchased. He gained my interest with the release of "Made To Worship" and "How Can I Keep From Singing." "How Can I Keep From Singing" opens this album with an almost doorbell-like chime, awakening the listener and drawing them into the rest of the album and preparing them for some wonderful worship tunes. "Made To Worship" will easily flow from your lips after just a couple of listenings. The next tune, "Let God Arise," is my personal favorite. It has a driving beat behind it that proclaims "our God reigns." The rest of the album is just as good, and I'd be fibbing if I told you that any one of the other songs doesn't deserve to be played on the radio. "Uncreated One," "Glorious" and "Let Your Mercy Rain" are just a few of the highlights from the rest of the album.

Tomlin and his band sound tight and blend together wonderfully. For those unfamiliar with his sound, I'd say that Tomlin is something of a cross between Steven Curtis Chapman's musical stylings and Wes King's softspoken vocals. If you enjoy either of these artists or light pop and rock in general, Tomlin should be right up your alley.

I highly recommend this album to anyone in need of a worship boost. This album will get you singing and praising in no time flat.

Praise worthy of praise.......2007-05-15

I never heard of Chris Tomlin before hearing his version of Amazing Grace/My chains are gone...so buying this album was a taking a chance for me. What a gift to have found an album where EVERY song brings glory to God. Great music...great singing...scriptural lyrics...I think even Paul the Apostle would approve. The refrains will stay with you and keep you lifted up all day!

Album Description

Description: Multiple Stellar Award-winner, Grammy-nominee, and perennial gospel music favorite, Marvin Sapp, has succeeded in establishing himself as one of the most recognizable voices in gospel music. Sapp declared himself "not a singer who can preach, but rather a preacher who just happens to sing," and he does both with the case of Thirsty. For Thirsty, Sapp teamed up with producers Aaron Lindsey, Myron Butler, his choir Levi, and New Breed. The cd was recorded live, before a capacity crowd.

At the top of his craft.......2007-07-25

Pastor Sapp has a finally found his comfort level and has a complete project that blesses you from begining to end. His voice and conviction finds a place in your situation and ministers to it. This album has pushed all other projects to the back of my Ipod. If you want to be ministered to by the greatest singing voice in gospel today, by all means purchase this cd quickly. This record has everything that you will need to get through the day or any situation. What a gift to the body of Christ this voice and vessell is. Buy one for the home and the car......

Inspirational.......2007-07-19

This is a CD that is not just for yourself but to be used as a ministry tool unto them that may have lost their praise because of going through, or just to continue to encourage someone in their walk, or to usher someone into the presence of GOD through worship or even further into worship and praise. To help strenghten those that may be standing in warfare for their own concerns or for someone else's and need a refreshing to sustain them in their battle. It sends you through every realm of relationship with GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.

It was alright .......2007-07-18

This isn't the best Marvin has put out but it wasn't that bad either. Through half of the CD, I really enjoyed the songs and it puts you in praise and worship. Tracks 7 thru 11 were dreadfully boring and I found myself using the skip button. Towards the end of the CD it got better with "Never Would Have Made It" and "Rivers Flow". This was an okay effort done by Mr. Sapp.

Emotional.......2007-07-16

This CD has been in my player since I bought it!! The songs have proved to be very emotional, talent filled and a blessing! Be careful while driving, you might need a praise break!!

It's not a CD--it's an experience.......2007-07-16

If you're a casual fan of gospel music, and haven't heard Marvin Sapp before, he typically creates 3 types of songs: songs about 1) praise & worship, 2) the Names of God/Who God is, and 3) God's blessings and deliverance. All three of these themes are present in 'Thirsty,' which is by far Sapp's most emotional, most journeyed release. The songs are moving, reflective, and place you in a spirit of thankfulness and worship. Not since 'The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin' have I seen a more personal, introspective look at an artist through his/her music. Its one of those CDs that makes you feel like you're at the CONCERT instead. If you enjoy Smallwood, Yolanda, Fred Hammond, or any genre where music comes from the heart, Marvin Sapp's Thirsty won't disappoint.

With an "alright, this time it's for real" promise, Toby Mac turns the keys of the ignition and hits the gas on Portable Sounds, his third and most impressive solo effort to date. The musician-producer sounds more confident and comfortable than ever before, deftly mixing elements of rap, rock, pop, R&B, funk, and even a little reggae into a deliciously creative entrée. Some of the "joints on this record" - as Toby Mac's boy TruDog calls them - fall more into one style or another. Yet the world party sound that Toby Mac introduced on his previous Diverse City is built upon here with the opening "One World" as well as "No Ordinary Love." Pop flavors more tracks than before with guitar-driven numbers like "Made to Love," "I'm For You," and the infectious "Suddenly." Fans will also be pleased as TruDog is indeed back on the ridiculously cute "Hype Man." Urgent rockers like "Ignition" and the silky smooth "Lose My Soul" give even more spice and variety to liven up an already electric mix. The latter track is finely tuned with guest vocals from Kirk Franklin and Toby Mac pal Mandisa. Much like Sting, Toby Mac has transcended a former identity (as part of the D.C. Talk super group) and grown into an artist worthy of merit on his own. Portable Sounds stands up to repeated listens with a fresh and energetic sound and a buoyant and unapologetic joy seldom heard. --Michael Lyttle

Customer Reviews:

incredible!.......2007-07-25

I heard about this CD from my friends because they like the same kind of music as I do. I had heard some of the songs on the radio, and I liked them a lot. After purchasing the CD, I thought it was amazing. I recommend it to anybody who likes Christian rap (except grandmas).

Toby Surprises Us Again with a Sound Effort.......2007-07-23

When DC Talk first announced that they were going solo several years ago, I was intrigued yet totally underwhelmed when it came time to evaluate their first debut efforts. Tobymac, in my opinion, was the worst of the bunch. With the exception of a couple of songs, his album, Momentum, was a confused pot of jumbled taped-and-glued sounds of raw noise that just gnawed at my nerves. But in the longhaul, Toby has kept his focus in the game despite a terrible first inning and has proved to be the DC Talk member with the greatest solo voice.

His sophmore album, Diverse City, was a huge improvement on every level. It still took some getting used to, but Tobymac really ripped one out of the park with several memorable songs (and a DC Talk reunion song) that still recieve consistant playback on the radio (and in my ipod).

What would you know then, that his third solo effort, Portable Sounds, is an even greater improvement than his last. Building on the same momentum as Diverse City, he hones in on and perfects his sound by dotting the i's and crossing his t's, and the result is absolutely beautiful.

Here's hoping that Toby can continue this trend and really give us a grand slam the next time around. Or should we just hope for that DC Talk reunion thats bound to happen? I mean, come on guys, Fletwood Mac and the Police got back together, its your turn.

I love this CD!.......2007-07-16

I bought this because I'm a Tobymac fan and I was not disappointed. My kids and I listen to it all the time and I love that they can fill their minds with Christian Rock instead of all the other stuff that is out there.

Made to love Him!!!.......2007-07-11

TobyMac is one third of Christian Rock group DC Talk, and "Portable sounds" is his third solo CD. It follows up the gold selling "Diverse city", and like its predecessor, features a diversity in sound and strong Christian lyrics. The CD debuted at #10 on Billboard's album charts.

Opening is the soul/funk horn sprinkled "One world", a celebratory song with rapped verses urging all God's children to "Come as you are" and "Come together in love".

The melodic "Made to love" is rockier (with a reggae bridge) and wouldn't sound out of place on a DC Talk album (it reminds me of "What have we become" from "Jesus Freak"), with lyrics about the essence of our creation; "I was made to find you/I was made just for you/Made to adore you/I was made to love". Similar in sound is the funk/rocker "I'm with you".

"Boomin'/Opera trip" is a loud guitar driven funk work out, with an operatic outro. "Face of the Earth/Chuck @ Artist Development" is a midtempo acoustic song with rapped verses and a catchy chorus.

"No ordinary love" is a horn peppered upbeat boy-band sounding song with additional vocals by Nirva Dorsaint-Ready. "Feelin' so fly" is similar.

"Ignition" as its name infers is a blistering rocker, while "Suddenly" is a sunny sounding retro rocker with a catchy guitar riff and refrain.

"All in (letting go)/Mr Talkbox" is a midtempo guitar driven song (the closest thing to a ballad on this CD) with nice harmonies, and closing is the soulful "Lose My Soul/Afterparty" with Kirk Franklin (who also appeared on TobyMac's debut "Momentum") & Mandisa, with lyrics eschewing materialism for spirituality.

I must confess I prefer "Diverse city", but this comes very close to that brilliant album.

Incredible!.......2007-06-29

This man continues to blow me away with his God centered heart felt inspirational music! I have to say I enjoyed this offering more than his others and I thoughts his others were awesome. He kicks it up a notch from Diverse City with Portable Sounds. I know people want to see DC Talk gete back together, but in my oppinion Toby Mac is doing quite well on his own. Seperatelly the 3 DC Talk guys are spreading the Gospel better than as a group. Buy Portable Sounds today!

Doesn't get much better than this..........2007-07-19

Okay, I thought they couldn't top last years album, 'The Stand'....AMAZING. Then along comes this. Okay, took a little while to grow on me, but all I can say is listen to 'Devotion' WITH the lyrics....it WILL make you cry!

Brooke Fraser also did an amazing job yet again with 'Lead me to the Cross' and 'Hosanna' (latter is also on the new live Hillsong album 'Saviour King', also on THIS album).

I reckon Joel and the team will go a long way with this ongoing project- oh, and the DVD 'The I Heart Revolution' is inspiring- all the more so as I'm working in a poor area of rural China!

captures the heart of a movement.......2007-06-01

This is music that has challenged and inspired me lyrically. I'm feeling every song on this album, particularly the fresh sound of Found followed by Hosanna and Solution.

This album makes me want to go out and change the world. Small things with great love. Seeking to have the compassion of Christ. Allowing my heart to break over what breaks God's heart... to share the gospel with my life and my actions.. not just with what I say. To be the hands and feet of Christ in this world... to impact people in a positive way... and all glory going to God.

God is up to something in the lives of young people. He wants to use us in powerful ways... putting into action the revolutionary idea of TRULY loving Him... and loving people. This album has really crystallized a lot of what I've been reading and hearing lately (Irresistible Revolution, etc..)

It's definitely a slightly different flavor than their previous albums... but if you're into social justice and living a life of impact in Christ's name.... check out this album. It will inspire.

I'm a relatively new fan of Hillsong UNITED but they've really secured my support with this album. I'm enjoying pretty much every song here... and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store with "the I Heart Revolution"

These guys get a lot of slack because of their popularity. And also people want to hear their old albums repackaged it seems... but God is always fresh, and it seems to me that they're in tune with what God is doing in the hearts of young people. I will continue to pray that their passion will light many a fire around the world.

Peace, love and grace..

Studio album does not disappoint.......2007-05-25

Hillsong United is known for their powerful live worship albums. You feel as if you are worshipping and praising alongside United when you listen to their live albums from the past. So I wasn't sure that a studio album would have the same intense effect that their past albums have had ( United We Stand is the best in my opinion)....well let me say that this album does not disappoint. The more and more I listen to it, the more I absolutely love it!! Let's see, personal favorites are Lead Me To The Cross (beautiful ballad from Brooke Fraser), Found (like this version better than the Mighty To Save version), Solution (not only do you just crank it up and jam out to this song but I love these lyrics of "... Higher than all circumstance Your promise stands, Your love for all to see, higher than our protest lines and dollars signs Your love is all we need..only You can mend the broken heart and cause the blind to see, erase complete the sinner's past and set the captives free...only You can take the widow's cry and cause her heart to sing, be the father to the fatherless...." (( these particular lyrics really impacted me), Never Let Me Go (you feel God's love for you), You (simple but DEEP!!) and Saviour King (this will be a favorite in churchs all around the world...powerful and deep lyrics!).

I find myself going to bed with a song in my head and wake up humming one of the songs. They stay with me all day and help me to get through the day. I have read other reviews and comments and the ones that criticize should really try to have a more open mind. The message, love and desire is in this album just as much as the others in the past. I have always said before you criticize, try to educate yourself more on the albums and songs...if you want a deeper understanding on the songs, go to YouTube Hillsong United TV and check out all the blogs on the songs. Once you see it, you will have a better and deeper understanding of the songs and connect even more. I am so grateful that there are talented people who use their gifts that God has given them and use it to serve Him according to His purpose. Without powerful worship songs, I don't know how I would honestly make it through the daily struggles that I face. They honestly get me through and help me to connect to our Creator and find purpose, meaning and understanding.

Thank you so very much Hillsong United for continuing to create awesome praise and worship music that glorifies and exhalts our Creator and Saviour!!!

The Album is AMAZING!!!.......2007-05-25

I bought the import one straight from Hillsong Australia, but its the same cd. The tracks are amazing. Solution is the best praise song and Saviour King is one of the best worship songs that hillsong has ever done (ive heard their cds for 10 years). Point of Difference reminds me of The Time Has Come from the United We Stand cd but its different of course. Break Free is more punk, Desperate People is a good worship song, Lead Me to the Cross reminds me of the None But Jesus song a little bit. Found is the same song from Mighty to Save. My Future Decided is more of a youth punk song Never Let Me Go is a good worship song You is slower could be good for meditation Saviour King is amazing though - revolutionary powerful WOW!!!!!!!!!! I first thought of it like came to the rescue but its not - its completely new. If youre mixed about my review, buy it for Saviour King - its the new anthem Hillsong church is singing in Australia SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!

All of the Above is not above all the others.......2007-05-24

Hillsong United has been providing relevant Christian music to youth for a few years now. All of the Above is a step backwards. While the songs display great musicianship, they are not as singable as past albums. Song lyrics has walked away what Christ has done for us (except for "Lead Me to the Cross" which has great words). If you'd like to listen to some good mainstream-sounding Christian music, check out this album. If you're looking for a worship album, look to past Hillsong United projects.

They set out to nail down a defining moment in their career, the MercyMe golden spike if you will. The goal for Coming Up to Breathe was a genre groundbreaking release such as Amy Grant's Lead Me On or U2's The Joshua Tree. While it's hard to go that far, it's safe to say that MercyMe's artistic integrity has met commercial appeal somewhere in the middle with Coming Up to Breathe. The one-time worship band certainly know how to write a hit and they bring us more of the same with radio-ready tracks like "So Long Self," "Last One Standing," and "Safe and Sound." But lead man Bart Millard digs a little deeper on the self-revealing "No More No Less" and "One Trick Pony." Lyrically both tracks reveal a band unapologetic about their faith and creative destiny. "Pony" is a pleasant divergence with its slide guitar and Mississippi mud atmosphere, conjuring up images of the band sitting at a crossroads somewhere in the Southland. MercyMe has never been afraid to show their musical influences on their sleeve. That's why you shouldn't be surprised by the Edge-like guitars on "Something About You" or even the pounding rhythm chords of "Hold Fast," which evoke Coldplay comparisons. So it's that struggle between creating something new and holding true to your principles that the band spells out for us. Perhaps Millard sums this up best on "3:42 AM (Writer's Block)" when he sings of a man out of words but not out of passion to allow God to speak through him. That's always been the aim of MercyMe and in this case, their hammer has driven this spike solidly into the ground. --Michael Lyttle

Album Description

Certain albums are obvious landmarks in the history of Christian music. These are the times when vision meets talent in a divine appointment that produces a collection of songs that help define an artist's career: WhiteHeart's 'Freedom', Amy Grant's 'Lead Me On', dcTalk's 'Jesus Freak', and Michael W. Smith's 'Eye 2 Eye', among others. MercyMe's new release, 'Coming Up to Breathe', is one of those albums. Singer Bart Millard is pleased with the success of MercyMe's previous albums, but admits there's a special satisfaction in this one. "We've always joked about wanting to make our 'Freedom' or 'Lead Me On', and time will tell if that is ever the case," Millard says, "but we just gave it everything we had. There was no holding back on this record. Regardless of what you are going through in life, regardless of what you are consumed with, regardless of what fills up your everyday life, there are times you have to stop and surface and take a deep breath and remember what's important. That's what this album is for us. It's addressing everything we've gone through and realizing the one common denominator in all this is Jesus. That's what is worth taking a breath for."

Customer Reviews:

Good stuff!.......2007-04-23

This is the first MercyMe album I've owned, so I can't give a thorough comparison to thier other cd's. I have listened to samples on Amazon, but I wasn't a big fan of what little I did hear, to be honest. The past albums sounded a bit too "pop/boy band-ish" for my taste. This album has a wonderful, positive message but with an organic, rockin sound that uplifts! I'm a big fan of music in general, and I have to say that this album can definitely compete (and outdo in some cases) with the 'secular' bands of today. Fans of good Christian rock would definitely love this album!

Another hit!.......2007-04-10

In the true form of MercyMe, Coming Up To Breathe is another example of their unique musical abilities.
This group is tops!

Mercy Me Rocks - or not.......2007-02-22

I'm not a big fan of rock music, but the music on Mercy Me's "Coming Up to Breathe" album is an exception.
The music is catchy, and the lyrics are right on in expressing the human conditon, yet lift the mind and the heart in praise.
The harmony on "Let Me Introduce Myself" and "Bring the Rain" are stunning, with the richness of the basses mixing so well with the lighter voices of the sopranos.
I thought it was extremely clever to write a song about the frustration of writing a song in "3:41 a.m.".
I think that this album is a valuable addition to the Christian contemporary music genre, and I'm anxious for Mercy Me to give us more.

All Thumbs Up!.......2007-02-08

I have owned this cd for a while and the more you listen to it, the richer you discover it is.

Worthy of note is that musically, they have ventured and matured beyond (even though they didnt stray so far away) from their signature sound.

It is a great listen. The arrangements are very good, some are outright innovative. There is also more chart-like pop than rock than in their previous albums, a tiny Southern influence but in my opinion but it still great.

Best of all about this cd, and being a Catholic reviewer, I must say their theology is still very sound and undiluted.

I dont prefer the radio singles over the others. They are all equally powerful tracks. Some are just so eerily personal to me

Summarily, I love 'Coming Up to Breathe'. Mercy Me has scored again and I'm glad they are who they are.

Great stuff for a first-time listener.......2007-01-20

I never heard MercyMe's stuff before this album, so I don't have anything to compare it to, which I think is nice; it's good to have a fresh ear. I never knew they did "I Can Only Imagine." (I wasn't a big fan of that song, so it's just as well.) I just happened upon this CD one day, and bought it just for kicks. I'm so glad I did. Turns out I really, really enjoy it, and have listened to it over and over without getting tired of it.

This CD is uplifting, but it's also full of excellent music that I can jam to. Those back-up vocalists are fantastic; they add a really rich dimension to the sound that you can't get from paper-thin, generic arrangements that abound out there these days. It's just different enough to set it apart from other artists, but not so different that it alienates its listeners.

I like the message. I like the sound. That's really everything I could ask for.

My Power Anthem Review.......2007-06-12

This is a great cd. I have to say, I love all of the songs on it. They are wonderful songs to walk (exercise) with; sometimes I find myself dancing.

I Can Only Imagine.......2007-03-26

I love this album. It's great to have on in the background while you're pottering around the house 'cause it's 'easy-listening'. Of course, when it comes to my favourite Mercy Me song I blare the sound!

I Can Only Imagine: Ultimate Power Anthems of the Christian Faith .......2007-02-01

Great high lifting music for the soul

I Can Only Imagine.......2007-01-16

I was very disapointed with the sound and the voices singing on this cd. I ordered it because I heard the song I Can Only Imagine and it was wonderful, however thie singing on this cd seems to be out of tone, sounds like amatures singing and I hate it. I do not like the entire cd. how sad as I spent good money thinking I was getting a quility of good singers.

Great CD!.......2007-01-09

I bought this for the title song, but it's always great to have this kind of CD with favorite songs. Well arranged and a good value for the money.

great cd.......2007-07-09

I have really enjoyed this cd. It is a real inspiration. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys contemporary christian music

Yes, it's a little different. But give it a try........2007-06-07

I love Jeremy Camp. He is one of the best things to happen to music (especially Christian Music) in a long time. The CD is not his usual and there are a few things I would say about it coming from a musicians point of view.

1. Sometimes the lyrics are a bit redundant. He rhymes words like seen, needs, memoRIES, vacanCY.... it goes on and on like that the whole song. As a songwriter he should know that sort of makes the song sound like a nursery rhyme. Maybe that's the effect of having two kids.

2. This is petty but he frequently uses the word CRAVE randomly. Maybe it's just me but I do not think this is a good word for describing how you need Jesus!

Overall, it is a newer, lighter, cleaner Jeremy Camp and I appreciately his work. It is not the usually LOUD rocker we are used to (with the exception of track 11), but if you buy for no other reason, buy it for "Give Me Jesus". It's simple, but powerful stuff.

One of my best if not the best Christian CD i've owned .......2007-05-07

This project is nearly perfect. It has so much I cannot even describe it. Great vocals, great music, and great lyrics. That says it all!!!

Excellent!.......2007-05-07

A highly recommended CD! Jeremy Camp combines great lyrics and upbeat music to make this one of his best albums.

This album is "Beyond Measure".......2007-05-03

I am also a big Jeremy Camp fan. Initially, this album did not strike me as being as strong as his previous album. But let me tell you. The Holy Spirit is working (at least on me) through this album. It has grown on me is a very big way. The released tracks are not even my favorites, that speaks to the strength of the album. That said, I also have the "Special Edition" with the bonus tracks. The bonus track song "We Remember" is by far my favorite. Its not a pounding, intense songs like we all know an love. But the lyrics and music just .... not sure what so say but Awesome!. Tonight is great, What is Means is awesome, Give you Glory is great.

Camp fan's out there. Do not hesitate for a second to purchase this album. You will not be disappointed. Do not be lulled into the initial softness of the album.

In today's worship-crazed phase of Christian pop, Mercy Me fits right in with smooth melodies, passionate lyrics, and a vertical focus. Yet the transition from worship band to major-label act demands more. Almost There promises just enough to allow it to rise above its inconsistencies. Prayer of Jabez-inspired "Bless Me Indeed" is a glimmer of brilliance where the group brings it all together, but it's the poignancy and power of "I Can Only Imagine" that testifies to Mercy Me's great potential. The dramatic ballad captures a believer's hope for the afterlife and is fueled by Bart Millard's authoritative vocals. The song will continue to be a staple in church worship services for years to come. Then there are the not so brilliant moments, including the cheesy "House of God" and "All Fall Down." Weak moments aside, Almost There offers enough fireworks to make Mercy Me an act to watch. --Michael Lyttle

Uplifting.......2007-07-30

It's hip yet it has very smooth and calming sound and theie message really make you thing like the sound "Here I am" and Ï can only Imagine"

Great CD.......2007-03-10

I love this CD. They have songs you never get tired of listening too. I also have their Spoken for CD along with Coming up to Breathe, personally I like their Spoken for Cd better than Coming up to breathe.

Pitiful.......2007-02-03

I can imagine alot of re-borns swooning over this piece of trash as they faint while gibbering incomprehensible garblings.

Album Description

The golden voice which has touched so many lives over the last 20 years rings out again on her latest release and first live Gospo Centric recording, I Never Lost My Praise. Produced by Kurt Carr and her son Jamie, Tramaine's stellar musical back up on this album includes Jamie, Maurice Rogers and Jonathan DuBose. Recorded live at Reid Temple, this album has literally been five years in the making. Sidelined by physical concerns and spritual snares, Hawkins persevered to give us her most intimate and passtionate performance yet.

Customer Reviews:

Killing me like none other!!!!!!.......2007-06-12

When I first heard that Kurt Carr was going to produce Tramaine Hawkins on a live project, I could not wait for the project to be released!! Needless to say, this was one of the best artist-producer collaborations ever!!! The two songs that are wearing me out are 'I Never Lost My Praise' and 'Don't Count Me Out.' Jamie Hawkins is an excellent producer as well, proving he can hold his own mos def!!! Tramaine's voice is still just as anointed as it was in the 70's. She is one of a few artists that shows what can happen when you really know how to take care of your instrument!! This project is definitely a musical journey!!! Don't burn it, buy it! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!!

LOVE T. HAWKINS.......2007-06-08

I'M GLAD T. HAWKINS IS STILL LETING THE LORD USE HER TO BLESS THE BODY OF CHRIST & WIN SOULS FOR THE KINGDOM OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD!!!

excellent.......2007-05-20

This CD is uplifting, good for your soul. Tramaine, keep up the good work. GOD BLESS YOU.

Fast Delivery.......2007-05-13

The CD arrived in a timely fashion! It was a gift to a relative.

Welcome Back Tramaine.......2007-05-02

I can't say enough about this CD. It offers praise, worship, testimony, and thought for Christian living. Tramaine has lost nothing in her voice or in her praise. Kurt Carr adds to this wonderful musical achievement. All I can say is just go out and buy it. You will not be disappointed; and your spirit will be moved beyond words.
