THIS CD IS CONSISTENTLY AMAZING

"There's three features of this CD that set it apart and make it a compelling, amazing treat for the ears. First, there's Sandra McCracken's voice, one of the most emotionally nuanced voices I've ever heard. I never tire of listening to her, and every listen reveals something else amazing about her vocals. Second, there's the choice of material, some of the most encouraging and substantive I've heard. In an age in which sentimentality and fluff repeated ad nauseum seem to dominate the Christian music scene, McCracken's songs reflect both the realism and hope that should characterize quality Christian music. Third, the production, sparse but multitextured, layered and never in the way - it's like spice sprinkled sparingly to food, making it tasty rather than overpowering it. I could go on, but I'll just leave you with one thought: This CD just gets better with every hearing. It's a gift from a gifted artist and a genuine treasure you'll treasure!"
