Mike and Kelly both have strong pedigrees in Southern gospel music. However, what is really striking about this album is that they have come up with a whole bunch of modern songs and although the album is being marketed as Southern gospel, the backings comprise some of Nashville's top country musicians including plenty of steel guitar and fiddle giving it a much more country feel that many an album that I have come across that is actually marketed at country! The opening track "'Your Cries Have Awoken The Master"' is one of two great tracks written by The Isaacs, the other being "'A Miracle Today"'. There is a nice lively mix all through and I also enjoyed the song written by the Bowlings, "I Have Faith". If Southern gospel with more than a touch of country appeals to you then give this excellent album a try.
