Awesome Wonder

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Awesome Wonder is what you get when you combine a charismatic worship enthusiast, a flawlessly tight band, and a knockdown-dragout choir. Complete with soaring soloists, an interactive congregation, and the heaven-sparked Kurt Carr presiding over the festivities, the Kurt Carr Singers do church in a praisin'-God-forever-and-stompin'-on-the-Devil kind of way. Although the music is done up with all of the pomp and flare imaginable, its content has a simplicity that penetrates the heart to inspire childlike praise. This third project from singer, composer, and producer Kurt Carr has set the standard for declaration of God's power. Even the more intimate moments have heart-rending qualities in their unfolding of God's goodness. But, putting the "Hallelujah!" back into the praise, several of these songs turn up the heat, until the easy-going celebration turns into ecstatic jubilation; this offers the most memorable draw of the disc. The intensity will cause a longing to be at the live show, which is the only thing that possibly could be better. --Israel Button

5 out of 5 stars This album is beautiful..........2003-02-24

I honestly never thought that there could ever be a way to top or even come close to the last album "No One Else", but this new album "Awesome Wonder" is running neck-in-neck. In the three year hiatus between albums the Kurt Carr singers have made a few minor cast changes. After the disbanding of Kesha Ealy, LA Mass Choir veteran, Nicole Potts ["Jesus Never Fails"] took her place and after the disbanding of Corey Briggs, New Jersey import, Troy Bright, a former CD Hawkins Singer, takes his place. Despite the cast changes, the sound remains the same.
Backed by West Angeles COGIC's Choir Of Life, the recording starts off with "In The Sanctuary", a rousing worship and praise song, which modulates into the heavens. Then there's the forceful yet fun praise song "We Declare War", led by Kurt Carr and Jackie Boyd-De Raat, after that is "O My Soul Loves Jesus" , a beautiful praise song led by Nicole Potts. Then there's the rousing "I Almost Let Go", led by Sherron Bennett along with Choir Of Life member Tisa Wills. Then there's the hot, salsa flavored "We Offer You Praise", led by Carr and the proclaimed "First Lady of Worship and Praise", Judy McAllister the song is played by Alberto Salas and his band. Then there's the down home Charles G. Hayes meets Kurt Carr flavored "Jesus Can Work It Out" with Shervonne Wells leading with spectacular ad-libs on the drive. After this is the "Worship Medley", beautifully led by Yvette Williams. Then there's something we wouldn't expect from Kurt Carr, an urban song. The title track. "Awesome Wonder" thought it has a worship and praise feel to it has a hot urban beat and edge mixed with the Kurt Carr singers vocals, the song is hot! After that is the beautiful "The Blood Still Has Miraculous Power", lead by Yvette Williams and then there's the sizzling hot jam "At All Times", lead by Jackie Boyd-De Raat and Nicole Potts. Then the most beautiful song on the entire album "That's Just The Way The Father Is", smoothly led by Kurt Carr's newest singer, native New Jersean, Troy Bright and to end the album the singers do exactly what the titles says, they "Set The Atmosphere" for a blessing from the Lord.
I was blessed by this album and I'm sure you will be to. This album is beautiful and indeed a must have!

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME INDEED!.......2002-10-29

God has truly anointed Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr singers. I listen to this CD at least once a day at work, and it lifts me up and helps keep my spirit high. The tracks are great - contemporary, yet traditional. The music will speak to your soul. God himself is an Awesome Wonder and the work he is doing through Kurt and his dynamic singers is Awesome Indeed!

5 out of 5 stars You will love this!!!.......2005-08-14

I've bought 3-4 copies of this CD because everytime someone borrows it, I never get it back! It is that good. You will enjoy the lush harmonies and intricate parts. It is definately gospel music at it's best. Kurt Carr has done it again.

5 out of 5 stars A must-have for all Christian music listeners.......2001-08-17

i listened to this cd once and wasn't quite interested. however there was one song that caught my interet "set the atmosphere" #14. i began to listen to the cd more and more and now its in my player all the time. kurt carr is like fred hammond with a touch of marvin sapp and a sprinkle of donnie mcclurkin. his songs have powerful messages. no. 9 will defintely make your head bop, but the words will definitely minister to your soul. as well as his other songs, especially no. 1. this cd will make you wanna get up and shout!

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!!.......2001-08-15

Having forged a friendship with Carr when he was a musician at our church in Hartford and when he was a fellow student at the University of Connecticut, I was certain that he had THAT special, God-given gift that is SOOOO evident in this project. Awesome Wonder is simply awesome!!! The vocals, in true "Kurt Carr" style, are phenomenal. The intracacy of the music is refreshing. The album as a whole is creativity at its pinnacle. "In the Sanctuary" pierces the heart spiritually and satisfies ones need for pleasing rhythms. The project is unique and well worth the investment.

5 out of 5 stars Off The Hook.......2001-08-09

This CD will Tremedously Bless anyone anywhere. The track I almost let go, Has ministered to my heart, my mind, and my soul day in and out. Cause there have been plenty of times "the the devil thought he had me, but Jesus came and grabbed me so I wouldn't let go." I would encourage anyone who dosen't already have this CD to go out and get it you will not be disappointed. I promise, The CD is a Blessing from Beginning to End.

5 out of 5 stars Totally Awesome.......2001-04-21

Praise GOD Kurt Carr is blessed, better than blessed. I can feel why he wrote each piece. I love the entire CD. I'm a gospel singer, trust and know that I know good vocals when I hear them. The Kurt Carr singers are talent in pure form. Not only does the group have talent but they feel what they are singing. The reason why I know is, I can feel what they are singing. The annointing passes thru this CD to the listener. Kurt Carr keep pressing towards the mark of the prize of the high calling in Jesus Christ.

God Bless
