The good reverend has a speaking/preaching/praying voice so low you sometimes wonder whether your CD is running slow. This album "in rememberance of the victims of September 11" consists of spoken recitations with titles like "Our Flag" and "America, Love Never Fails", with occasional interjections from a choir. It was no doubt made with complete sincerity. But its unsettling mix of prayer, sentimentality, preaching and patriotism make it all but unlistenable.
