The folks at worshipsource.com have pulled together 30 of the most popular worship songs in this two disc release. Produced by Chance Scoggins (brother of "Crush" singer Jennifer Paige), this is an uplifting, God-glorifying two hours of praise that never becomes routine. Featured are a raft of quality contemporary worship songs by the likes of Chris Tomlin ("How Great Is Our God"), Paul Baloche ("Because Of Your Love") and man of the moment Israel Houghton ("Friend Of God", "You Are Good") performed by some talented but sadly unnamed Nashville musicians who give more than their all to ensure the project does not become another run of the mill worship release. A number of arguably over-compiled songs are also featured - Brenton Brown's "Everlasting God" and Stewart Townend's "How Deep The Father's Love For Us" amongst others. Considering how dull some cover version worship albums can sound, this succeeds pretty well.
