Excellent CD From "God's Property" Alumni.......2006-07-30
Everything about the two projects is so similar- although they are definitely two distinct projects- and that is an excellent thing! Upbeat songs to go along with the more mellow songs, excellent musicianship by the band, and most importantly, the lyrics of all the songs emphasize a focus on God and our need to uplift Him, and stay true to the course He has laid for us. My personal favorites are "Set Me Free", "I Can", "That's Who You Are", and "Latter Rain", but I can easily listen to the entire CD without skipping a track.
If you liked the "God's Property" sound, you will definitely enjoy this CD. Get it and receive your blessing!
Wish I could give it a few more stars.......2006-04-11

Myron Has Now Become One Of My Faves..And That's Hard To Do With Me..........2006-01-09
From the start this CD is a smash. The first 3 songs, "That Place", "I Can", and "Set Me Free", instantly became my favourite songs on the CD. After those songs, the songs are great but not like those 1st three. The beginning of "Set Me Free" also had a kind of Tye Tribbett feel to it, so I really liked that one.
There are so many leaders with chorales/choirs coming out these days it's so hard to keep up: Brent Jones & TP Mobb, Natalie Wilson & SOP, Israel & New Breed, Tye Tribbett & GA are pretty much the best of the bunch. But now you can add a new addition to that group. Myron Butler & Levi are definitely gospel excellence and don't disappoint with this CD. It was well worth the wait.
Kingdom Blessings...

Acappella is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to explore contemporary Christian vocal groups. Less jazzy than Take 6 and more lean and clean than the heavily multitracked Glad, Acappella provides a solid groove and tight harmonies that are fresh and exciting yet not overtly aimed at Top 40 radio. One of the tracks on Set Me Free, "More Precious Than Gold," was even used in a national television commercial for Kodak. That track, based on Psalm 19, was written by Keith Lancaster, as was the bulk of the album. The four singers on this 1993 album, Duane Adams, Wayburn Dean, Gary Moyers, and George Pendergrass, are supplemented by a gospel choir on the title track. "Stand on the Rock" will get your fingers snapping and "Lead Me to Rest" will transport you straight to heaven. --David HoriuchiCustomer Reviews:

Elvis Fans Must Own.......2003-10-29
Fabulous collection!.......2003-07-13
Another great feature is that you can hear Elvis develop his vocal style. There are three different versions of the fabulous "Shake, Rattle and Roll," and on each successive version, you can hear the improvements, both vocally and instrumentally. This is a piece of music history and will show even a casual listener that Elvis was amazingly gifted as a vocal innovator and rock stylist. Highly recommended!

The perfect beginning............2002-03-23
The King of the 50's.......2002-03-12
The real treat for the collector is on disc 1. You get some of the earliest of the Elvis Sun studio recording. His performance of 'Blue Moon' is simple but effective in conveying a sense of loneliness.
Disc 5 ends with a long press conference conducted by Presley right after completing boot camp. It's interesting to hear how he interacts with the press and how he was trying to set himself up as just another private headed to duty.
These discs represent a piece of history the true collector must own.

Amazon.com essential recording
For a few years during the early 1960s, Sam Cooke, the man with the golden croon, ran his own small record label, SAR Records. In addition to aiding the career of the post-Cooke Soul Stirrers, SAR unleashed an impressive array of talent--Bobby Womack and the Valentinos, Lou Rawls and the Pilgrim Travelers, and a young organist named Billy Preston. The singles they cut for his label are here, alongside unreleased demos from Cooke such as a spare, transporting take of "That's Heaven to Me." Story presents much evidence of the Soul Stirrers' continued greatness with Jimmie Outler as lead singer. And the tracks by R.H. Harris & His Gospel Paraders are stone groove gospel-soul cuts. Disc 2 presents the secular material, with solid jazz-funk cuts alongside swell pop-soul numbers. To top it all off, the packaging is deluxe, the notes informative, and the remastering first-rate. --Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:

Yet Another Side of the Man who invented Soul.......2005-11-30
He produced most of the sessions himself and they have added some fun bits on the CD where Sam is talking to the artists and telling them how to sing and what to do.
CD1 is the gospel part and features himself but also the Soul Stirrers and the Womack Brothers. On CD2 we find them again but this time as The Valentinos. The song everyone will know if "It's all over now" that the Rolling Stones heard and then recorded.
It also features songs he wrote for others and then recorded himself a little later like "That's Where It's At", "Soothe Me", "When A Boy Falls In Love" and "Rome Wasn't Build In A Day".
The production was great because the songs all sound awesome. It really shows yet another side of the man who invented soul. This time the producer and label owner.
Stunning.......2003-08-07
And control them he did. One of the many pleasures of this collection is that you get to hear some of Cooke's direction to the groups on his label, and he can be both humorous and fierce. "Paul, you weren't watching me, no way," he says to Paul Foster of the Soul Stirrers at one point; but at another he patiently explains to a clearly frustrated Foster what the words of a particular song mean so that, as Foster says, "I can get the sense of it."
Cooke himself made history and has been called "the man who invented soul" (although that title should technically go to Ray Charles) by "crossing over" from the world of gospel, where he was lead singer of the Soul Stirrers, to the world of popular music--a move thought by many in the gospel community to be literally sinful. The set reflects that division, with the first CD devoted to gospel music--including that of the Soul Stirrers, reconstituted with Johnnie Taylor singing Sam's former part--and the second compiled mostly of popular love songs. To my mind, the first disc is far and away the better of the two. I find most of the songs on the second disc fairly forgettable, except the Sam Cooke songs that Sam sang better himself on other occasions. But the first disc is another matter. In fact, aside from the Soul Stirrers albums themselves, and of course Mahalia Jackson, I don't think there's any gospel music I enjoy more. The songs here are varied, moving, lovely. Many of them are powerful enough to bring me to tears. If the first CD alone were the price of the whole set, I'd happily pay it--and then some.
