This is the annual release offering live worship recordings made at the four Spring Harvest weeks in Minehead and Skegness. It features songs led by worship leaders Graham Kendrick, Sarah Bird, Nick Herbert, Sue Rinaldi, Ben Cantelon, Tom Smith, Pete James, Cathy Burton, Andy Smith and Sound Of Wales. Uptempo songs "The Way" and Martin Smith's "Emmanuel" get the crowds warmed up with their rocky edge. Chris Tomlin's "At The Cross (Love Ran Red)" is given a tender reading by Cathy Burton while the distinctive tones of Sue Rinaldi presents the wonderfully atmospheric "King Of Compassion". Other highlights include the covers of the Smith/Redman "Great Is Your Faithfulness" and Hillsongs' "God Is Able". The elder statesman Kendrick pops up with two new offerings, the communion "Remember Me" and the intimate and vulnerable "Holy Overshadowing" while Sound Of Wales bring a modern hymn to the set with "Ancient Wells". The overall production captures the atmosphere of the event and in the process brings us some fine new songs.
