Lovers of the old quartet sound and, for that matter, devotees of '60s sounding Southern soul ballads (check out the gaspingly soulful "Lift Up Your Hands") will enjoy this one. The Christianaires' lead singer Paul Porter has a gusty, intense voice (love that falsetto on "Look To Jesus") and the tracks are nimbly programmed. There's even a lolloping piece of old school funk on "Stand Up". Lyrics are strictly "let my God fix it", "just lift him up" style but the sound is gloriously timeless.
