Oh no! was my initial reaction when I read the track titles of "Oh Danny Boy", "Abide With Me" and "Rock Of Ages". Although this CD is not my cup of tea I think that it probably would have appeal for the older age group or anyone who liked The Sound Of Music. The cover says "Songs of hope and encouragement..." and whilst the hymn contents had encouraging themes the vocals were clear and the orchestration did induce a relaxed state I still found it to be very 'more of the same' as I listened to the songs. A predictable CD with no hidden surprises.
