A good value CD of 26 tracks, ranging from favourites of traditional hymnody such as "Love Divine All Loves Excelling", "O Worship The King", "Morning Has Broken" and "Abide With Me" to 20th century worship classics "Majesty", "The Servant King", "Give Thanks" and "Be Still". The Bristol Easton Band, formed in 1908, is one of the Salvation Army's top bands, with a burgeoning international reputation, and like many Salvationist bands I've heard, has a good, tight, well rehearsed sound under its leader, bandmaster Nathan Jenkins. Good to sing along to (the lyrics are printed in the CD sleeve) or to relax and listen to, this is well recorded and impeccably performed, and with a playing time in excess of an hour, should appeal to brass band enthusiasts and hymn lovers alike.
