This compilation is a must have, whether you are a gospel music aficiando or you are just getting into Gospel Music. Contained within the 14 songs that make up this set is music from individuals who helped to shape Gospel Music: the real first family, The Hawkins Family and their midwest counterparts, The Winans. There is also msuic from Andrae Crouch, who wrote over 50% of the music sang in churches today. For Quartet flavor, there's a nice song from the Blind Boys of Alabama and even new music rounds out this set. Mavis Staples (Ms. "I'll Take You There") gives a moving performance on God Is Not Sleeping as well as not to be missed soulful renditions from Ann McCrary, Bryan Wilson (Boy Sparrow) and a spoken word naarative from Bil Carpenter. I can't wait to see what volume 2 brings!!!!
