This second volume has resulted from enough good material left over from Vol 1 to warrant a further DVD. It follows the same format as the first album; friendly banter between Mark and Bill, excerpts from various concerts and out takes. I find Mark Lowry an enigma, in so far as he possesses a very fine singing voice and can occasionally write a classic song, but personally his humour is an acquired taste that doesn't really travel well across the Atlantic. "Jesus On The Mainline" comes off very well, as Bill Gaither had no idea that Mark was creating such humour because he was singing his part with his eyes closed! It is very difficult to be objective about this album as for example the comedy skit on "Cool Water" will have some people in hysterics, whereas I personally didn't care for it. The bonus material has a very nice version of the old B J Thomas classic "Home Where I Belong" and then Mark does a superb job on his own song "Mary Did You Know" recorded in New York.
