A collection of mainly standard and traditional hymns and gospel songs that still stand tall, defying the ravages of time and fashion. These two fellowships should be commended for abstaining from the easy excitement, quick thrill selection of current fare, in favour of the risk involved with the material they have chosen. The 23 tracks include much of the "Showers Of Blessing", "Near The Cross" and "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" style, mixed with just a few more contemporary pieces, eg, "What Kind Of Love Is This?" The signing is competent, conveying affection for the material. Of the soloists, Wes Davis makes a good job of a poor song and sings a pleasing duet with Anita McGirr. Jane Gibbs has one of those voices which is okay, but a bit difficult to record. Nothing exciting here, but as one who finds himself to be increasingly bored with excitement, a recording of some depth and value.
