"Fred Hammond has done it again! He has made another one of his first steps similar to him deciding to go solo and leave Commissioned. Fred has decided to venture further out into the music world with the premiere of his new record label "fhammond music". Most of the voices that we the listeners have come to know as RFC have been pushed forward in this move of faith and great display of talent. Stepping back from the mic and allowing other to step up is just an awesome showcase of dedication to God, music, and others that may wish to be heard. He has some guest apperences on the Cd, but most of the songs are sang by those that have proved to be the melodic backing of Fred! Plus with the big step that he is taking with this new record label who else would be best to put in the spotlight besides those that you have dealt so greatly with in the introduction and remixing of other songs. The songs that have stuck with us like "Dwell", or "Sprit of David", and "Shout unto God" are just some of the few tracks that will forever be assoicated with the name of Fred Hammond. Well a new generation of songs is here and they have their own record label! "In case you Missed it...and then some" is definatly another step that Hammond has made in which the listeners will be greatful. The songs on this record will touch your sprit, soothe your mind, and put you in a place of worship. Some of the songs have been pulled out of the archeive from the days of Commissioned, but the way that they are arranged and sang by this beautiful blend of anointed voices is like no other and they are sure to stick with you. All I have to say is if you like Fred you should buy this Cd in contribution to all that he has given us over the years. Not only that but the Cd is a dynamic display of what God has placed before Fred and the talent he has been working with for so many years! ~Kudos Fred! This is a step that you will not regret as I hope you are continually blessed in all things that you do."

Simply Brilliant!!!!! OUT OF THE BOX!!

"From the opening song to the last there is not a single weak song on this project. For those of us who have become accustomed to 'the Fred Hammond Excellence' this is no surprise. What is so amazing though is how 'full' and innovative the songs are, even the re-mixes of previous Commissioned hits- just check out "Let Me Tell It" which swings!!! "When Jesus Sings" and "Heart of Mine", as re-interpreted by Fred and RFC, are smooth, mellow, jazzy and unexpectedly brilliant. The ability to take such reknowned songs and to so improve on them that, to be honest, the original versions pale in comparison, is nothing short of an exhibition of the creative power of God at work in the lives of Fred Hammond and his collaborators. There are a number of new songs on this project that are bound to become new Hammond classics. My current favourite is 'I Annoint Myself' the chorus of which speaks to the reality of forcibly returning your mind to a position to enable yourself to move on with your life's calling despite obstacles, it goes: ' I ANNOINT MYSELF BRING MY MIND BACK IN TALK TO THE FATHER GET THE PLAN AGAIN KEEP IN MY HEART WHAT I GOTTA DO 'CAUSE I'M HERE TO SERVE YOU IF MY MIND GETS SWAYED IT'S NOT TOO LATE BEFORE I WASTE ANOTHER DAY KNEEL AND PRAY THIS IS HOW I REMIND MY SELF, SOMETIMES IN THIS LIFE CHALLANGES COME AND EMOTIONS GET CARRIED AWAY BUT IN FAITH BE STRONG AND TO HIS WORD HOLD ON AND IF DOUBT COMES GIRD UP YOURSELF STAND THERE AND SAY I REMEMBER,(vamp) SOMETIMES I GOTTA REMIND MYSELF THAT WHAT I'VE BEEN CALLED TO DO IS FIRST BE WITH YOU , SOMETIMES I GOTTA REMIND MYSELF THAT YOU CALLED ME CALLED ME AND I'M AT YOUR DISPOSAL" If you're going through anything at all, or simply want to be edified this is a complete album, a trailblazer, a must have!!!!"

Brace yourselves for a little bit of EVERYTHING!!!

"If you haven't purchased this CD yet, then I'm really really sorry to hear that. This thing is off the hook!! It consists of Commissioned old school, upcoming artists such as Joann Rosario (track #8 as soon as you get it!), PamKenyon, The Singletons, Brigette Campell, the list goes on! My picks are "I Anoint Myself" by PamKenyon (#3), "When Jesus Sings" (#7), the JAM "More,More,More," by the one and only Joann Rosario (#8), old school Commissioned "Who Do Men Say I Am?" (#11), old school Fred Hammond solo "My Heart Depends on You", and "Save Me Now" (#16). The CD in a whole is bangin', but those were just the ones that really caught my attention when I first heard the CD. Some people said that this CD is Fred at his best. I have never known Fred Hammond to be at his best at just one project. That man is at his best in every project ever produced or put out by him. All in all, he is just the man. So if there is anyone who hasn't purchased this CD, I'll be praying for you. At the same time, I'll be enjoying track #8 and the rest of MY CD!! Just kidding. God Bless ya'll!"
