Steve S. (Reno-ness) from ARROYO GRANDE, CA Reviewed on 6/6/2007...
This was a very good year for Xtian music. Steven Curtis is here. Jars, DC and Newsboys represent. Petra? Yes. Audio Adrenaline? Solid. Third Day? Of course! And the chicks: Twila, Cindy, Rebecca, Margaret, and Sierra. Tracks by the solid Mullins, Duncan and Carman also. Great party album to go with that spirited game of Twister.
CD Reviews
Great sampler of a wide range of popular Christian music.

"I have bought WOW compilations since 1996. I think each has been better than the preceding. WOW 1997 is great. I have purchased individual artists' CDs after getting to know them here. What I especially like about these compilations is that the mix is varied so that it stands up to repeated listening, as sometimes is NOT the case with a recording by a single group (DC Talk's Jesus Freak and Supernatural being exceptions). I look forward to many many WOWs in the future."
IT'S GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"WoW 97 is just as good as WoW 96. Had songs by some old favorites (among them Becker and Watson) and introduced me to some great new ones I'd never heard of before (being from the R.P.) Discovered dc Talk and the Newsboys through these albums. BUY IT!"
Double WOW!

"WOW 1997 is a two-CD, 30-song compilation of the best contemporary Christian music for 1996 (yes, I know...... the year says 1997, but it was actually released at the end of 1996....... go figure!).From Steven Curtis Chapman's "Lord Of The Dance" to Newsboys' "Take Me To Your Leader" to Petra's "Right Place" to Margaret Becker's "True Devotion," this best-of-the-year album has something for just about everyone to enjoy.Too expensive to buy each artist's album to get all of these great songs? Then add this compilation CD to your collection and enjoy these great songs anytime."
