floyd is underrated.......2007-01-31

A lot of my musician friends tend to laugh a little when i say that Floyd Cramer is cool. But he is, and this sweet little gospel record is ample proof. He plays the songs straight, allowing their simple beauty to shine through, uncluttered. It is especially nice to hear him solo, without a band or fancy arrangements.

Move heaven and earth to add this to your collection!.......2006-08-05

Twenty-five years ago in my twenties I first heard a powerful and beautiful gospel song called "Take me back" by Andrae Crouch & the Disciples. Some people remember what they were doing when Kennedy was shot. For me it was hearing that song.I was rooted to the spot by the sheer vibrance, overall vocal power and high emotion and faith conveyed in this song.I have loved it unceasingly ever since and will never ever stop loving it. Play this song loudly and play it first!. Then follow with others like Jesus is the Answer; It won't be long; Tell them; Soon and very soon;I don't know why - then STOP and ask yourself why on earth you wouldn't want to forever keep these excellent songs?? This entire album is simply superb.If you ever mistakenly believed that "only the Devil has the best music" - THINK AGAIN!.

The Versatility of Brother Crouch.......2002-07-08

This CD gives the listener a potpourri of Chrisitian 'goose bumps'. The quiet love and promises of Jesus... the Proclamation of 'spreading the gospel'... to my favorites: "I'll Be Thinking Of You","Through It All" and "My Tribute"... (oh, and Andrae's piano work on "Soon and Very Soon"...is OUTSTANDING). This and Donnie McClurkin's "Donnie McClurkin" CD's are the BEST two gospel works I own. The two of them are gifts I give to people who Love the Lord.

Gifted from above.......2001-10-29

I think Andre's God-Given talent is absolutely unmatched. It is a shame that we don't hear as much as we would like from this artist.

Andrae' Crouch "The Classics" Volume 1.......2000-06-02

This CD has the greatest collection of Andrae's hits. The music is absolutely the greatest comtemporary music ever recorded. From "Through It All" to "My Tribute", I do not know of any Christian music that is so real and soul touching.

simple but amazing.......2006-01-29

The guitar and vocals on this CD will blow you away. Of all of the Catholic Classics CDs, this one is my favorite - an awesome way to learn some of those more traditional songs without a voicy choir.

Surprising, but beautifully done.......2006-01-12

I really expected a more traditional arrangement with organ & choir, so I was in for a bit of a shock right off the bat. The arrangements are relatively simple with one or two voices and limited orchestration. However the effect is wonderful. The primary singer has an unusual high and clear voice, and the harmonies raise goosebumps with their beauty (all I know about music I learned from my highschool punk rock band, so you'll have to listen to the tracks above if my description is unclear).

Some of the tracks are forgettable, but the others are truly outstanding. "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow" is wonderful, and exceeded only by "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name." The mixture of latin chant with vernacular on "For the Beauty of the Earth/Ubi Caritas" and "Go Silent Friend/In Paradisium" was tastefully done. The performers and arrangers also rescued the otherwise saccharine "How Great Thou Art" and turned it into a genuinely inspiring hymn, although they were unable to accomplish a similar feat with the thoroughly overplayed "Amazing Grace."

So many other people have beautiful renditions of Ave Maria, so the track on this CD barely registers for me. Panis Angelicus is done better on many other disks as well.

Still, if it were only "Praise God..." and "Holy God..." on this CD, it would be worth the price. Truly excellent.

This is the one to get........2003-09-08

Very beautiful and inspiring rendition of some favorite Catholic classics. The most beautiful: "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" which fades in the middle into a chant-like revery-inducing song only to flourish again with new-found faith at the end. Second most beautiful: "Holy God, We Prise They Name," which builds in three voices towards the end, one added for each person of the Blessed Trinity. Also noteworthy: "For the Beauty of the Earth," with its mix of Latin and English transitions and blending of Gregorian chant in between verses. Good rendition of "Ave Maria" and "Simple Gifts." A lot of steel-string guitar played strong and true, but not overwhelming the beautiful voice of David Fischer. Fischer accompanies himself on the best tracks, to great effect (especially "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow").
