You'll find your faith again............2004-12-10

The movie was outstanding, the soundtrack just as good. Steve Martin stars as a burned-out charlatan evangelist who comes to a town that hasn't had rain in a long time. Martin finds his own faith throught the course of the plot. You'll find yours just listening to the soundtrack. The CD opens up with Don Henley's "You better sit down" which surprisingly made the charts. Patti Labelle and Edwin Hawkin's "Are you ready for a Miracle" was probably the most stunning piece of the whole album, but all the music is upbeat and heartening. One minus was the instrumental music was not included.

Disappointing, but contains some gems.......2004-10-31

Disappointing, mostly because this CD contains different (and inferior) versions of many of the songs in the movie. Nevertheless, it contains a couple of gems. In particular, the Patti Labelle version of "Are You Ready for a Miracle" is so powerful that one listen could make Osama fall on his knees and praise Jesus.

The Incidental Music Is Not On This CD.......2004-03-21

Like the other reviewer of March 2000, I was hoping that the exceedingly beautiful background music would be included, but it wasn't and I don't know why. Not everyone loves Gospel. I am not religious, and I'll listen to Gospel music in a movie, but I certainly won't listen to it on purpose!

The best music in this movie which I watched a dozen times just to hear it is near the end when the rains finally come to the parched, drought-forever town. It simply gives you goose pimples. This CD is like the score to "The Horse Whisperer", if you're not careful (like me) you ended up with nothing but country singing, not knowing there was a 2nd CD made with Thomas Newman's spectacular score! The producers of movie score CD's should know there's two types of customers: those who like songs and others who like just the instrumental background music. They lose the latter market if they don't pay attention.

Never thought I would like Gospel music!.......2003-12-13

Excellent CD to go along with an excellent movie.

Great Gospel Soundtrack.......2003-04-08

This is a rare occasion that Hollywood would put out a movie with a great gospel soundtrack. If you haven't seen the film, you're missing out on a special treat. It's about a man who loses faith and finds it again. Hollywood has the ability to make good films, but they only come around once in a while. I believe that any old-fashioned Christian will really enjoy this soundtrack. It's the best fun you can have of this quality. It's quality comes from the talent of Cliff Eidelman who composes works for 'Alien Trilogy,' 'Free Willy 3,' 'Star Trek VI,' 'A Simple Twist of Fate,' and 'My Girl 2.'

Product Description

When it comes to complete and utterly wonderful depravity,few have ever dropped their drawers,exposed every orifice and let out a lustful holler with as much panache as Miss Tammy Faye Starlite, whose self-released EP, On My Knees, sets a new standard for countrified carnality. Her EP, On My Knees, presents itself as a live radio broadcast made during a barn dance at 4 am. Starlite's delicate vocals--on songs like "God Has Lodged a Tenant in My Uterus" ("He's asked me to keep it safe, and keep it warm/God forbid I should hurt it, kill it, or desert it/My placenta is its' shelter from the storm")--are punctuated by trailer-parkesque hoots, jealous hollering men and pig calls. It was produced by former Del-Lords singer/guitarist Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, who has worked with the Bottle Rockets, Mojo Nixon and Ian Hunter. Contents: 1) Intro-KKOK 2) Did I shave... 3) Mooshiner's Child 4) God's A Hard Habit to Break 5) If You're Comin' Down, Sweet Jesus 6) God Has Lodged A Tenant in My Uterus

One of the Best Christian Cds of All Time.......2006-09-01

Susan Ashton and producer Wayne Kirkpatrick team up again and hit it out of the park. Kirkpatrick wrote most of the songs on the cd and Ashton sings them with everything she has.

Standout tracks include the rocking 'Here in my Heart', the teary 'Grand Canyon', the humbling 'Better Angels of our Nature' and the toe-tapping 'Walk on By'.

The cd is filled with songs concerning our closeness to God, the temptation to sin and to judge, and the fragileness of our humanity. Great songs sung by one of the greatest singers in Christian music.

Excellent from start to finish.

A CCM album for the ages... .......2006-05-17

I started listening to contemporary Christian music seriously at the time this album came out. It is my favorite Susan Ashton album (Wakened By The Wind is a close second). It is an essential ccm album for any collection.
Songwriter/producer Wayne Kirkpatrick is her partner here. What a collaberation it is! His songwriting and production are absolutely phenominal.
Here In My Heart is a great opener. Grand Canyon is a gorgeous soaring ballad. Started As A Whisper and Better Angels Of Our Nature provide some edge and keep the album from getting too "soft". There aren't really any clinkers on this disc so there shouldn't be too much reaching for the skip button.
Susan has one of the most beautiful, expressive voices in creation. These days she's working as a nanny and enjoying working with kids. Selfishly, I hope she comes back to make at least one more good album at some point. We can always use some good songs from an artist like Susan. These days we need the reassurance. In the meantime, pick up Angels Of Mercy and enjoy.

Bigger beat for Ashton's sophomore CD.......2005-03-03

Although it won't be mistaken for rock, Ashton adds some new flavour to her sonics this time out, letting electric guitar play a bigger part than on her debut. It also landed 4 chart hits with "Here in My Heart" (#3),"Grand Canyon"(#17),"Hunger and Thirst"(#20), and "Walk on By" (#6).

Best cuts this time out are pop-rocker "Here in my Heart" (covered by country singer Martina McBride on the "Evolution" album, ASIN:B000002X49), the "God big, us small" ballad "Grand Canyon" (covered later by country singer Kathy Mattea on her "Walking Away a Winner" CD, ASIN:B000001E2L), the scathing diatribe against holier than thou types of "Started with a Whisper", world-weary lament "When are You Coming Back?", acceptance that life isn't clearcut even when you walk with Jesus (the Billy Sprague co-penned "Alice in Wonderland") and the dark side of growing older. ("Innocence Lost")

The only weak tune on here is "Let me Go", which is pleasant but not really memorable.

A big step forward for Ashton.......

Still Wonderful After All These Years.......2004-01-28

Isn't it funny how some songs come to represent a time in our lives? For me, this entire CD always brings back memories of summer 1994. I bought the CD in May of that year and listened to it almost non-stop going to and from my summer job. To this day, every time I stick it in, I'm transported back to that summer.

Fortunately, that was a good summer because I still love this CD. Susan Ashton had a way of picking songs that spoke directly to me and still seem to do so.

The CD opens with the only song she co-wrote, the wonderful "Here in My Heart" reminding us that God is patiently waiting for us no matter what is happening in our lives. "Grand Canyon" was another classic from this album that made an analogy about the distance that can seem to develop between us and God. A personal favorite is the tug of war captured so eloquently in "Innocence Lost." The power of gossip is tackled in "Started as a Whisper." Susan Ashton loved to pick songs with literary illusions in the title and that continued on this CD with "Alice in Wonderland," talking about facing the difficulties in life even if we don't want to. "Walk on by" is a fun warning about giving into temptation. And I always loved the closing ballad "Let Me Go."

Product Description

This CD & hardbound book combination is a wonderful view into the historic Russian Orthodox faith for the English speaker, the thesis of which builds off the Eastern understanding that an icon represents an invisible spiritual reality, the Church on earth is an icon of the heavenly church and that liturgical chant is an Icon (or image) of the angelic singing. These then, are in "divine harmon" as to how they work together to engage the faithful in the ascent to heaven. The CD is comprised of selections from the series of recordings by Anatoly Grindenko and the Russian Patriarchate Choir, and one portion of the book includes an essay by Anatoly Grindenko, and liner notes and complete hymn text in English. The other portion of the book is written by Russian iconographer Adolf Ovchinnikov, and explains the history and development of icons and their use in the Christian faith. It is comprised of a series of essays that have been translated into English, with copious! full-color icons representing ancient to recent icons, many previously unpublished (from St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, The Hermitage, the Byzantine Museum in Athens, and others). Book is 62 pages in length

Sweet, Soul-Stirring Susan at Her Finest!.......2007-04-20

I love Susan's innocent freshness and her voice that is so pure and gentle. Every song on this album is gorgeous and combines her gentle spirit with lovely vocals and back-up music. She's a gem in the Christian music industry, and I only regret that she has not had a new album in far too long! Come back to us, Susan, we miss your voice out here in Amazing Grace Land!

One way to confront a strict religious upbringing..........2004-03-21

A rock-heavy twangcore concept album about a sex-drenched country evangelical gal who likes nooky and drugs as much as she likes going down on her knees to praise the Lord. It opens with a foul-mouthed parody of Rick Springfield's "Surrender," and amplifies the theme with numerous songs such as "Misguided Magdalene," "Highway 69," and the menstrual-themed "Ride The Cotton Pony," as well as cover tunes like the Jules Styne showtune, "I Knew Jesus (Before He Was A Star)" that seem to fit into the album's theme. I think they're aiming for a profane, "Rocky Horror"-ish shock value, and for rebellious listeners recently in the thrall of a Christian education, the transgressive mix of religious and sexual themes may provide a great cathartic thrill. However, if you were already paying attention to the punk and Goth rock revolution of the late '70s and early '80s, you'll probably find all of this pretty old-hat: Wayne County or Diamanda Galas approached a lot of the same issues with much greater artistic impact. For those of us not caught up in Catholic or Evangelical theology, it's all one big shoulder shrug. Also: this isn't as "country" as one might hope; Tammy and her boys seem to have been having fun, but it doesn't mean a lot to me. I did enjoy her version of Marshall Chapman's "Don't Make Me Pregnant," the only performance that really stands on it's own, outside of the context of the album.
