As the sleevenote helpfully says, '17 classic gospel style songs for kids.' And I can't describe it better than that. So, if you're eager for a description of the actions to "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" or "I'm In The Lord's Army" fret no more, for they are here. If however, you're looking for inspirational passion and enthusiasm and children's music that imparts life and a sense of awe in God's presence - as well as having the actions described for you - don't expect to find it here. The arrangements are very musical and are competently performed by a small band and children's choir, but that's about it really. Maybe it is because this recording is just one from a production line of similar offerings from Cedarmont. I don't know. Anyway, after going through the 17 said songs, they are all repeated in split track format for 'sing-a-long' - the publisher's description, not mine.
