    Very nice collection of old standards, performed with clarity and personality. Especially good version of Every Grain of Sand.

  • One of the best albums I own!
    author: Richard

    This is one of the best albums I own, seriously. There is a great deal of variety within each track but overall it is a great listen. It's a "gospel" record but not "preachy"...just great songs, amazing performances, and wonderful overall. Highly recommended!
