  This is a refreshing mixture of old hymns, typical gospel choir fare and some funky urban grooves from a rather appropriately named outfit from the Cathedral Of The Holy Spirit, Decatur, Georgia.  If there are only a dozen other choirs like this in the USA, then the future of gospel music is safe.  Good production (the Cathedral has a “live” acoustic that adds to the atmosphere), enthusiastic singers (unfortunately a little ragged in places) and sparse but effective arrangements add up to an album that is no worse than most gospel choir albums I’ve heard and considerably better than some.
