Reviewed by Ian Hayter
This is the kind of thing you so often find produced by the Salvation Army, but in this case performed to perfection by one of the world's greatest brass bands. We have 20 tracks (a few seconds short of an hour of music) featuring great old hymns such as "And Can It Be" and "Crown Him With Many Crowns". There's also one more contemporary song, Chris Bowater's "Jesus Shall Take The Highest Honour". The arrangements are all by veteran arranger Goff Richards and the band are joined by the voices of two fine choirs. It is uplifting stuff, which sends a tingle down your spine as voices and instruments combine to produce a memorable sound and stir the spirit to worship.
