Yes, yes, yes!! Need to feel encouraged? Need to feel God's love? Need to feel God's anointing? This vid will help with all of these. Who is Ray Boltz anyway you may ask. Well, he's very big Stateside, a bit of a Michael Bolton soundalike and even has Mikey's flowing locks! A collection of 14 excellent songs which in the main are ballads however the likes of "I Go To The River" and "Heaven Is Counting On You" will definitely get your feet tapping. "I Will Praise The Lord" is a really powerful song all about two guys called Paul and Silas who once upon a time found themselves behind bars and - well, the rest is, as they say, history. This is not just another American on an ego trip. 'Concert Of A Lifetime' is a small orchestra, a great tight sounding band, a group of superb backing singers and a tremendously talented singer/songwriter in the form of Ray Boltz. If anything one or two of the film clips are on the corny side but these are easily overlooked as the quality of song shines through.
