Having seen the Collingsworth Family on several TV programmes, this new release just confirms what an easy on the ear listening experience this group is. There are some good new songs on this CD such as "Tell The Mountain", the very catchy "Jesus Is All I Need" and "I Pray" plus some older material, such as the opener "God's Family" and the closing track "The Resurrection Morn" written by Bill and Gloria Gaither many years ago. All six members of the family are featured vocalists and the accompaniment is quite lush at times, however in my opinion a more upbeat approach on a couple of tracks would have considerably improved the appeal of the album. I also have one gripe about the fairly new song "Nothing's Worrying Me" as whilst the lyric is very good, the tune is a carbon copy of the old Crystal Gayle hit of many years ago "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue".
