How do you review a LIVE PROJECT that features many of the absolute best songs, performances and artists in CCM from the last 40 years. Take a look at the list above and read each title and artist…now do it again. An unbelievable stellar cast of singers, songwriters, artists, songs and they were all captured LIVE for this amazing project earlier this year. I was so privileged and honored to be in the audience for the taping of this monumental event, along with so many others in the music industry who have or had played a part of these artists careers and the songs life. It was just a precious time and so many memories invaded my mind, since I have been involved in the industry for the last 35 years. I remember when the majority of these songs and the artists were brand new and being played on the radio and in concert for the first time. This project proves to me the power of the song, and the saying IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SONG. You cannot put together a better compilation of songs than what this project is for the CCM world. As far as the performances of the artists, it is a live project so you will see and hear some flaws, but the experience and the songs drive the project. You will want this CD and DVD for your collection. It is a must have for any and all music lovers of any genres. These are songs that truly will be some of the HYMNS of tomorrow!

Now go back and read the songs and artists again…then go get the project and spend some time listening and watching an incredible legacy live!

I give it a 5 star….maybe even a 10 star if I could!
