Reviewed by Graham Jovanovic
From the gospel influenced opening title track this is a positive, sometimes grandiose sounding album that has a big heart. With luscious, operatic arrangements, tinkling pianos and Spanish guitars this work possesses the confidence to swallow the listener into a vast landscape and a world of majestic praise that somehow steers clear of being pompous. The production is elegantly professional whilst a little straight laced and defines a powerful voice in Willie Joubert as well as a competent songwriter. The overall classiness is appealing as are the wonderful African gospel choirs soothing us with hope and peace.

I would be grateful if you could advise me where I can purchase this CD "There is a River". It's not available on Amazon either.
Thank you.
