Reviewed by Mike Rimmer

This gospel choir from Chicago, fronted by the good doctor, have been doing their stuff for nearly 30 years and this slickly recorded live album bears testimony to the power and passion of the choir. If you're into traditional gospel music there is much to enjoy here including the inspiring vocals of the female (but unnamed) lead on the stirring "Lord I'm Coming Home" and the almost mournful beauty of "God Is". Along the way, you get plenty of foot stomping, hand clapping traditional sounds and Hayes' old fashioned warblings. Clearly much loved by the congregation but in the worldwide scheme of things, there isn't anything new here.
