A question: do big production and big budgets make a recording great? Of course not and this, the third in the series focused on acoustic worship for small groups, is a fine example of how small, intimate and dare I use the old favourite term "unplugged" recordings can be outstanding. Containing just acoustic guitars and piano, producer Neil Costello has once again created a recording which achieves all it sets out to do: support small groups in worship. Well-known songs such Matt Redman's "I Will Offer Up My Life" and "A Greater Song" are featured along side Tim Hughes's "We Must Go", Matt Maher's "Your Grace Is Enough"(which kicks off the album with an engaging guitar opening) and other songs not so well known. Neil Wilson, Nicki Rodgers and Cathy Burton beautifully supply vocals, amongst others.
