Despite a decidedly unimaginative name for this group from Wisconsin, Praise Team are a pleasant, easy-on-the-ear and technically impressive group of acappella harmonizers. Male and female voices blend in an attractive way and with 12 members their sound takes on a choral direction on occasions. The songs on this eight-track mini-album are covers with such composers as Russell Fragar, Annie Herring, Pete Sanchez and Tommy Walker cropping up on the composer credits. Group leaders Michael and Wendy Blakely, and indeed the members of the Northtown Church, are to be congratulated for developing such precise vocal talents.
