At first glance this appears to be a shop window for worshiptogether.com by taking classic UK worship songs from the last 15 years and introducing them to the USA. On closer inspection we find an album of quality musicianship and masterful production. Derald Daugherty (The Choir, Lost Dogs) sings, strums and produces, aided by our own John Hartley (Phil & John). Throw in Phil Maderia who soaks the album in B3 and accordion and we have a dream worship band. "For The Cross" gets the most beautiful treatment, oldies like "Jesus, We Celebrate" and "You Laid Aside" are totally refreshed. Straightforward but wonderfully made.
