"This album has some fantastic funky dance tunes, a stack of wacky fun songs and some great praise and worship tracks that will encourage you to be a warrior for Jesus." asserts the blurb on the sleeve. Well, Duggie Dug-Dug has been a great hit with my own children at a major coastal Christian spring festival, and here he mainly shows us what he does best. a stack of wacky fun kids praise songs, such as the excellent "You Won't Get To Heaven On The Back Of A Camel", some great worship tracks with the outstanding "King Of Love", and roadshow novelties that make up the stage show. There really is something for everyone, and although the pop dance opener "Put Your Hands In The Sky", featuring a duet between Duggie and soulful diva Vanessa Freeman, has been a major Cross Rhythms radio hit, it left me cold. However, the bulk of the material is strong enough to ensure enjoyment for kids, parents and church workers! Also, check out the CD-ROM video of Harry and Larry, Duggie's crazy muppets!
