This latest release from Hosanna! Music featuring seasoned worship leader Lenny LeBlanc will not disappoint you. Recorded at Harvest Christian Fellowship in California, 'Above All' is worship with a difference and consists of catchy upbeat numbers peppered with beautiful ballads like LeBlanc's classic 'There Is None Like You' and astonishingly breathtaking 'I Believe' - all portraying a sensitive devotion to God. Sounding for all the world like James Taylor, 'Rainbow Song' showcases LeBlanc's endearing vocals and guitar style whilst an intimate duet with Rachel Wilson takes Martin Smith's 'Lord You Have My Heart' to new heights. The accomplished backing band augmented by an occasional mandolin and violin give this album a sense of country charm without a cliché and a Dylanesque Hammond organ adds a delightful finishing touch to tracks like 'That's Why I'm Here' and 'You Are The One I Love'. 'Above All' complete with Enhanced CD Rom section, is not only a credit to the quality of LeBlanc's musicianship but a stunning expression of praise that will have you yearning for more.
