Recorded in 2003 in Yarmouth, but that's Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, not (Great) Yarmouth, Suffolk. The accompanying letter tells Cross Rhythms that after 160 years Pleasant Valley is experiencing growth due to a "new, younger-thinking pastor and our contemporary music." But "contemporary" is a very relative term and many will still find the music here stilted and dated. It's not helped by a set of female singers who clearly aren't professional and far from satisfactory production quality. Pretty melodies and plenty of expressed adoration for the King. But as a CD it doesn't stand up.
