The Wonder Kids crew are at it again. There are no production credits on this CD, so the (perhaps wisely) anonymous creators of this album will remain nameless, but it's the usual formula of pedestrian backing from a piano and cheap-sounding keyboard accompanying some youngish-sounding soloists and a children's choir. This time each of the 26 songs communicates a promise from the Bible, couched in language that would have been common when CSSM (remember them?) published their first book of children's choruses back in 1936. The tunes haven't progressed much since then, either. This album's selling point is that each of those songs takes a different letter of the alphabet (hence the 26 tracks, see?), so we begin with "Answer Me" and "Bless Me" and work through "Keep Me Safe" and "Love Me" to "Extend Grace" (always difficult getting something beginning with X unless you're compiling a catalogue of musical instruments or synonyms for racism*) and "Prize Of Heaven" (Z isn't easy either). There's a sentence in the short sleeve notes which refers to this as an 'incredible ... song collection', which rather overdoes the hyperbole, but you do begin to wonder at how long Wonder Kids can keep churning out the same old stuff.
(* xylophone and xenophobia, if you're struggling)
