Very strange packaging, this one. Despite the fact that all these studio recordings were originally released on various albums in Spring Harvest's New Songs series, there is no mention of the SH Bible week on the front sleeve. The 30 cover versions gathered here offer plenty of favourites including "We Are The Free" (Redman/Myrin), "Glorious" (Torwalt), "How Can I Keep From Singing" (Tomlin/Redman/Cash), "Father Me" (Oakley), "Canons" (Wickham), "Forever Reign" (Morgan/Ingram), etc. Although the production is reasonable, no credit is given on the sleeve for any of the studio session musicians and singers involved. Unless you want a broad brush taster to some modern worship songs, there is no substitute for seeking out the original versions.
