Although it's Ken Reynolds' name on the sleeve, the RLC Choir definitely deserve an equal share of the credit, with electrifying performances from beginning to end. Right at the start "Worthy" lives up to its title through the passion and power of their delivery - a wall of choral and instrumental sound and hints of a Latin groove. Next up, and just ahead of the title track, "Be Glad" puts an engaging new slant on the lines "This is the day that the Lord has made/Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Besides songs led by Ken and the choir, some notable solo leads later in the set add to the musical interest, particularly Darnisha Taylor on "So Good" and Ben Reynolds (a relative?) with "I Need To Worship". There's also an instrumental "Reflection", featuring a gently-played piano solo from Ken. This is one of several tracks which have been augmented in the final production by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. "Does Anybody Here" soars equally reverently in worship as Jesus' name is honoured, but the funked-up remix version is even better, thanks to guest appearances by Michael Gungor and bass guitar virtuoso Victor Wooten (quite an achievement to get him on board!) - an awesome finale.
