Gospel music is supposed to be inspirational, right? It's supposed to stir you up. especially where the words are unambiguous, as this definitely is, right? So why after trying to be fair by giving this CD repeated listening does this bore me and leave me uninspired despite the genuine good news songs like "God Still Loves You", the title track and others? The answer, or the fault as I see it, lies with Dr Wilson. Despite what seems like a degree in music, and a contribution in several areas by the Dr - writer of all the songs, bassist and keyboardist - almost every area of creative endeavour is marred by blandness. Except for the chorale singing, say, "See His Glory" and Stella Morgan's lead vocals on the rousing "'T'Will Be Glory", much of what's on offer is so pedestrian and uninspiring - the lead vocals of Dr Wilson and others don't do much to attract attention to what are genuine gospel lyrics which should be uplifting the listener.
