The amount of live worship albums on the market today is massive and it's often difficult to decide which to buy. For any Christian the sound of thousands of people praising God is truly inspirational and awesome, yet a live worship album depends very much on the taste of the listener. The latest volume in Authentic's successful "cover version" series offers 30 live-sounding recordings of the modern worship genre. However, an examination of the sleeve indicates that the tracks here were produced in various studios in Bury, Bolton, Seattle, Nashville and Worthing with the usual batch of session singers (Brent Miller, Andy Green, Ingrid DuMosch, Simon Goodall, etc) doing the lead vocals and only the congregation of Bury Christian Fellowship providing the live atmosphere. Plenty of good songs here including "Happy Day", "Famous One" and "Voice Of Truth" although in nearly every case the original recording of the song is a better one.
