Customer Reviews:

Great for the money.......2007-08-01

This CD is filled with the songs that are sung in the contemporary church. Listening to it is a very uplifting experience. I just wish the singing was a little better, but it doesn't matter much since I am singing right along with them.

I have no complaints, only praise........2007-07-08

The 2 CD set is great! Twenty-five songs in one set for this price is wonderful. I got my moneys worth, for sure. The sound is crisp. The songs are great. My order came in a timely manner. The plastic case had a small crack in it, but nothing major.

Very satisfied with item........2007-05-31

Fast shipment. Will definitely do business with this seller again. A++++++

Brooks.......2007-05-17

This was one of the best buys I done lately. The artists and songs were the perfect match to songs (especially Amazing Grace by the Statlers)

Exactly what I expected :).......2007-01-12

This was a gift for my father and he loved it. We listened to it all morning Christmas Day. The songs are beautifully chosen and wonderfully familiar. A good mix.

A great intro to country.......2004-08-06

How often have you heard someone say how much they hate country, except for Johnny Cash or "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

Here's a compilation that person should enjoy.

Featuring old tracks from Cash, Elvis, Hank Williams, Ricky Skaggs, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and more, this cd breathes of the authenticity of yesterday.

As a compilation, not every track is outstanding, however I enjoyed most of them, skipping only a few. The standout track is "Farther Along" by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton.

Powerful Live Worship.......2007-06-28

The very power of this album lies in its being recorded while brother Matt was worshiping his heart out . . . LIVE. He is very passionate and in the moment, and from the background response of the audience, it's evident that they were on board with him. Favorite songs are Blessed Be Your Name, The Heart Of Worship, Holy Moment, Let My Words Be Few, and I Will Offer Up My Life. My sister played this many, many times, and for months it seemed like I got something new to encourage me every time. If you buy one new Christian CD this year, let it be this one!

GREAT CD!!.......2007-06-08

I love this CD. It arrived quickly, and was in good condition. I would definitely buy from this vendor again.

A Great Live Worship Album.......2007-05-04

I like a lot of worship leaders out there, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder to name a few. However, I have come to love Matt Redman, and he is by far my favorite worship leader out there. Every album that he has put out is stellar, and Blessed Be Your Name is spectacular for a live event. The vocals are easy to hear and understand, while on other live albums they sometimes seem outdone by the crowd noise or too much bass. In some cases where the vocals are outstanding, the music is subdued. Not here. Each instrument is elegantly showcased. Standout tracks on this disk would have to be the title track, "Holy Moment", "Undignified", "Facedown", and my favorite Redman track of all time, "Better is One Day". If you like live music and worship music, this album is for you.

Great..........2007-05-01

You can't go wrong with a Matt Redman cd. It is filled with powerful worship songs that keep you praising God all day!

Great CD.......2006-11-12

Matt does such a great job of worship on this cd. It is a live album but recorded in high fidelity and sounds great. He plays all the best songs and in such a fantastic way.

Amazon.com

There are few music collections of the modern praise and worship movement in contemporary Christianity that capture classics better than the double-disc release Songs 4 Worship: Shout to the Lord. The buoyancy of Charlie LeBlanc's "Celebrate Jesus" sets a joyous and righteous tone for this uplifting assembly of songs. The melodic brilliance of Paul Baloche is ably defined in "I Will Celebrate," while the modern church staple "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" gets a rousing treatment from the Maranatha Singers. Appropriately enough, the first disc closes with the classic "Shout to the Lord," the signature Darlene Zschech number bound to move anyone's soul. The second disc packages the old (Amy Grant's "Thy Word" and Rich Mullins's "Awesome God") with the new (Delirious's "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever") in a delightful sequence. The powerful Ron Kenoly belts out the closing "Majesty" in fine form. This release is a solid primer for those exploring the praise and worship genre. --Michael Lyttle

an archive.......2007-03-04

SONGS 4 WORSHIP: SHOUT TO THE LORD is an anthology of conventional and well-known songs in the 'Praise and Worship' Genre. The value of this double CD set is its collection of twenty-two old (at least by the conventions of modern worship music) standards in one place.

The set does not break new ground. Rather, it presents many favorite musicians doing their signature pieces: the Maranatha Singers, Paul and Rita Baloche, Darlen Zschech, Twila Paris, Delirious?, Amy Grant, Rick Mullins, Graham Kendrick, Keith Green, Pete Sanchez, Jr, Joseph Garlington, Charlie LeBlanc, Ed Gungor, Don Moen, Kent Henry, J. Daniel Smtih, Marty Nystrom, Ron Kenoly, and David Butterbaugh.

A good mile marker archive for your library.

Uplifting.......2006-02-20

The best investment for my money. The best praise songs in one CD. We play and sing along to the songs before our prayer meetings.

Uplifting, Inspiring, and Rejuvenating.......2005-07-17

I am not a regular church goer any longer...and was not raised with this type of Christian music. However, after hearing commercials on TV, I found I really liked this music for a couple of reasons: (1) it's in celebration of our Lord (always a good thing); (2) it's joyful and refreshing; and (3) it allows "closet singers" (such as myself) to sing along (at the top of our lungs) and express our faith musically. Try putting on this CD while doing housework. It makes the task go by fast!!

Barely 4 stars.......2003-11-18

This is nice package for the modern contemporary Christian worshipper. But IMO only about half the songs are very solid and meaningful on here and the typical keyboard, bass guitar, drums setup gets old. There is little variation in the playing of these songs - the same situation applies to most modern services in churches.

But it is a pretty decent package and there are some good uplifting tunes on here.

Overall, the BE GLORIFIED package (blue CD set) is better.

Music to run by!.......2003-09-28

This is a great CD to listen to while exercising! The songs are uplifting and help you to keep going while running on the treadmill.

The Best Love Songs.......2007-08-03

This CD has the most beautiful love songs. This one we used for our prelude music at our marriage vow renewal. It was perfect and really said how we feel about each other. Great Christian love songs! Thank-you very much.

Wedding/Love Songs CD.......2007-02-15

This is a fantastic CD with truly the "best" love songs. In addition, to songs about romantic love, there are songs appropriate for friendship and also songs about the love to/from God.

Great Music.......2006-10-04

I bought this CD when planning my wedding just to get ideas for wedding music. I still listen to this CD after my wedding, because it has such great Christian songs commonly used in weddings. I loved the music was all sung by it's original artist. It's a must have CD of Christian Wedding/Love songs.

Great Wedding Music!.......2005-10-17

I recently purchased this CD which I happen to find while browsing in Amazon.Com. After listening to sample clips, I was convinced that this compilation of various artists was the best choice of all the other wedding music CD's that I have viewed. This cd offers a variety of music styles from comtemporary artists. Very romantic, perfect for your wedding! I highly recommend this cd for those who are just can't find the right music to play at their wedding. I highly recommend it!

This CD is one of my all time favorites!.......2007-04-14

Honestly, I love this CD! Almost every song is really, really good! Only a handful are average and the rest are GREAT! I have had the CD for sometime now and it's about all I listen to in my vehicle. I love singing along with it and the music makes you feel good! As I have told my wife, I plan to buy several of these 'Top 25 Praise Songs' CDs and give them to friends and relatives as gifts. It is that good!

great songs, a little too slow.......2005-10-27

This CD has some of the greatest praise and worship songs ever, but they are all just a little on the slow side, and I find myself wishing they were just a step up on the tempo. Most of the songs are not in my key, and I can't really sing along with this one very well, maybe that's my singing voice, not the cd, but just the same, I prefer the "Songs for Worship" CD's instead.

This CD Will Lift You Up!.......2003-11-29

I bought this CD for my seven-year old's birthday. He has listened to secular rock with me for years, and I felt like we needed something else to listen to in the car, and I knew that both my kids liked praise songs from church. Wow! I also bought him a CD player at the same time, and I have been amazed how much he chooses to listen to these songs, over and over and over. We all sing to these songs, even my Pearl Jam-loving husband! I've never been one to listen to Christian rock, prefering either true gospel or secular rock. I love this music and the sound of my son singing to God. I may order another one just like it so that my twelve-year old will have his own.

Great songs -- wish they were longer............2001-08-07

All the songs are great, beautiful..... just wish they were longer in length. Seems they are all shortened versions. All the songs seem to be less than 2 minutes each.

For alone time with God.......2000-10-10

This CD provides me with the environment I often need to "settle" in and worship Jesus. The songs speak to me and let me know that Jesus is just a breath away. "Give Thanks" is definetely the best track on this CD. I feel so close to God during that time. It is not too intrusive into my bible study time with really distracting music.

Customer Reviews:

The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Amazon.com

The newest in the Wow series of contemporary Christian music is as slick-sounding and solid as its successful predecessors. The two-disc set begins with a solid alterna-anthem (DC Talk's plaintively overwrought but super-catchy "Into Jesus") and ends with a kiss (Fernando Ortega's inspiring, Nashville-tinged "Lord of the Eternity"). The compilation's 33 tracks really do run the gamut: the polished, pure pop of Avalon and Point of Grace; Christian swing music; the atmospheric, spiritual sounds of Maire Brennan and Jaci Velasquez; the spirited belting of rocker Jennifer Knapp; a dance-pop act from the U.K.; the veteran confessional singer-songwriter folk of Amy Grant; Christian ska; and the late Rich Mullins's moving, visionary gospel-folk. CCM stalwarts and newcomers alike will be pleased by this release. --Mike McGonigal

Best WoW CD up to that Time!.......2005-04-08

I have been a big customer of this CD series. I have bought every one of them from 1996-2005. The first few CDs in the series were not that great, because they would have a few contemporary christian songs and then they had a whole bus load of the crummy Gospel music. However, the WoW 1999 was the first year where they really said o.k. lets lose the gospel and stick to the contemporary rock/pop/alternative/rap Christian music. This set includes Third Days wonderful song "Agnus Dei" originally recorded by Michael W. Smith, Third Day takes it into a new genre Rock. Then there is The W's The Devil is Bad a hip swing tune about the temptation of the devil in our lives. Then we have one of the first appearances of Nichole Nordeman and Jeniffer Knapp.

To tell you the truth, if the company who puts out this series had not put this album out, I would not have bought another WoW CD simply because Gospel is not my kind of Music. However, because this CD was released I have continued buying into this franchise and I have been very pleased with every album since. Thank you for reading my review!

One of the Better Wow's.......2005-03-03

This is one of the best Wow's ever made. It is such a random compilation that it actually works. There were some great bands back then. Three of my favorites Christian Artists, Smalltown Poets, Newsboys, and dc Talk all make an appearance on this stellar album.

A Great WOW for your collection.......2004-03-07

The only reason this album doesn't get 4 stars, is the inclusion of a few songs that I didn't feel mixed well into the collection. Namely, "His Cheeseburger." Don't get me wrong, the Veggietales are great, but the song on its own doesn't make much sense without the video.

However, the album is terrific regardless. It features one song that I am surprised didn't get more airplay "Strollin' on the Water". A very unique sound, that really resonates the longing to take those leaps of faith with Christ. To be fearless for God.

The Best of The WOW Ever.......2002-08-23

This is by far the number one WOW cd of all times. Its got some of the best bands ever on it, like the Newsboys,DC Talk(Before they broke up), Smalltown Poets, Jars of Clay, and Supertones. What a combination! The WOW cds are a great alternative to burning cds. Why do you burn cds? so that you can get all of your favorite songs on one cd. WOW allready has most of my favorite songs on it. So I can legally listen to them. What a great idea!

GREAT First tape............2001-07-24

I absolutly love the first tape/c.d. in this set, the songs are well aranged to compliment and contrast each other. It's uplifting to listen to, and I never hit the skip button. However....the second tape, I don't like at all, and never even listen to anymore, I don't think the songs sound good together, and I just don't think they're as good as the first tape. But, in the end, I'd have to say that the first tape is worth paying for the full set.

Great .......2006-12-28

Every song on this CD is great. I listen to it on my way to work every morning to keep me lifted and motivated. I blast it so that every person on the street can hear it, not because I want too but because they need to know how good God is to my family and to me.

Outstanding series; best way to get into contemporary gospel.......2005-09-24

I've been following gospel music for some time as both a fan and a performer. While I haven't been playing much over the last few years, the WOW gospel series has helped me to stay current with gospel music and find new artists that inspire me. Putting together a top shelf gospel compilation is a real challenge. On the one hand, many worshippers like the big choir sound of artists like Hezekiah Walker. Others dig the more urban contemporary tracks that borrow more heavily from R&B. This compilation is great because it's an affordable compilation that will expose you to a wide range of talented artists.

There are some classic tracks on this album. "Stomp" was a big hit of course, one of the first tunes to really crossover from gospel radio to R&B radio stations. While you may disagree with a gospel song based on a Funkadelic sample, you can't deny its impact and its influence on what choirs are doing today. I dig "No Weapon" even though it's a remix of the Fred Hammond song. I have the original on another compilation so this version was a good addition to me. Likewise "Speak to My Heart" is not the classic New York Restoration Choir version, but a new modern reworking by Donnie McClurkin.

There are many other standout tracks as well. "Shout" by Milton Brunson is a jam and a half, up there with things like "My Mind's Made Up" [not included on this compilation]. "He Did It All" is a different kind of tune for John P Kee, one that uses New Orleans trombone in a way that shows that he understands the roots of gospel music. "I've Got a Testimony", "Total Praise" and "Order My Steps" are tunes that many church choirs have performed since they were recorded. Here you get the original versions.

Only a few of the tunes made me scratch my head. Donald Lawrence's "Stranger" sounds like a bad imitation of Kirk Franklin and his spoken stuff unfortunately dominates his choir. Two moments that may have been good live are unfortunately recorded on this CD: "Mother Sherman Story" has almost five minutes of Carlton Pearson testimony before it starts and "Helen's Testimony" isn't even a song. "Helen's Testimony" is about 8 minutes of her testifying about how low she fell before accepting Christ and about how her grandmother prayed for her. Some listeners will be moved by that, but I found it repetitive after listening to it a couple of times.

The few mistakes on this compilation don't diminish its impact and the value of this series. For those of us who can't afford buying 25-30 quality gospel CDs a year, you get much of the best gospel and can really decide which artists you want to get know even better.

4.5 stars

Great.......... A Real Blessing.......2005-05-03

This album is i think one of the best in the WOW Gospel Series. Songs like "I Got a Testimony" and "Be Encouraged" are a blessing, and uplifting. "Order My Steps" and "The Battle is The Lords" are powerful. "Total Praise" by Richard Smallwood, words can not express how much this song speaks to my soul. This album is a must have in the series.

WOW 1998 - awesome arrangment of praise&worship 1998 is #1.......2003-02-06

WOW 1998 is a powerful and a awesome arrangement of praise and worship music. To me it is the best one to date. It was the first one I ever purchased and I've bought them every year since and none has touched me the way that this one has. I lent it to a non believer at work she loved it and she never returned it so I have looked alot of places I;m happy to have found it here.
It's a great way to sample an artist's music before you purchase a whole CD,

Comes highly recommended will definately enhance your relationship and walk with the Lord. You'll learn appreciate him more.

Great Inspirational Gospel!.......2002-01-04

I have to say that this is a truly anointing gospel CD. I still listen to this cd quite often, as well as the other wow gospel series cds that I have collected. The message is given by several contemporary and traditional gospel artists, so there is something on here for everyone to enjoy. This cd is definitely one to add to your gospel collection. I plan to collect all the others in this series that I do not have, because I enjoyed this one so much. I know you will too.
