"Was just talking with our musician after church this morning & was STUNNED that he didn't know about this CD!! This is as fresh now as when I first bought it 8 years ago. In fact, I wore out the 1st & had to replace it; my wife also keeps "borrowing" it. I LOVE Oleta's amazingly rich, soothing voice!! This is the one I invariably look for when things get too crazy around me. It's the closest thing to a comforting touch from my Savior that I can get on this side of Heaven's Gates. Oleta, just keep singing & blessing searchers like me. God bless you & may Heaven smile upon you & your work!!"
One of the greatest singer/songwriting I have ever heard!

"I have listenned to Oleta's other cd's however this is the icing on the cake. The lyrics and music is uplifting. Her voice is beautiful. All the songs touch me, however the title cut Come and Walk with Me, is breathtaking. I hope more music like this is coming from Ms. Adams. I play this cd over and over again. I never grow tired of it."
Absolutely The Best

"All I can say is, absolutely, incredible piece of work. The production, the arrangement, the writing along with the most incredible voice out there. Yolanda Adams has an outstanding voice, but this girl can sang. Oleta, you have been blessed. This is what great singing is all about. Hope she's back in the studio for spiritual or secular, I don't care, I will be a fan for life."
An inspirational, loving gift directly from God

"God definitely blessed Ms. Adams with a dynamic voice and she honors Him beautifully in return with "Come Walk With Me". This CD was a gift to me a year and a half ago for purchasing my new car and I have not removed it from the CD player SINCE! I continue to listen attentively and still shed a few tears every once in a while. Ms. Adams really conveys how much God loves us and how we should all praise His holy name. Thank you God for Oleta and thank you Oleta for your songs."
Oleta's Beautiful, Reflective Album

"Oleta Adams is blessed with the kind of voice that can literally lift you - her stunning nuanced vocal delivery captures the mood and essence of each song with great effect that it cannot fail to move you.
"Come Walk With Me" is a beautiful album. The writing, producing and arranging were all excellent. The album opens with the soothing tones of "Holy Is The Lamb", but "I Will Love You" is the gorgeous track that I can listen to over and over without ever tiring of it.
The whole album flows quite nicely. There's only one up-tempo track here - the mildly funky "If You're Willing" that'll be sure to get you shuffling your feet. There are a couple of tracks that put shivers down my spine; the first is "Wash, Oh God, Our Sons and Daughters", with its soaring, sweeping arrangement and lovely orchestral arrangement. The second track is the awesome "Beams Of Heaven", which is reminiscent to those old spirituals that Mahalia Jackson used to sing; you know, the one where she takes her time and is just lost in the music. This is a moving, heart-felt performance that closes the album.
This is the kind of CD that you listen to when you're in a reflective frame of mind - it's the perfect album to lift your spirits.
