This album is undoubtedly a well produced and at time's even attention grabbing set of pop funk gospel tunes.  But after a while you begin to wonder what happened to those classic hooks one expects from an album whose players read like a Who's Who of the LA session scene. As gospel music often goes, this isn't a bad album.  Roby Duke has a nice smokey edge to his voice and the higher than high playing and competent lyrics lock together well enough.  I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if Christian music is to appeal to a wider audience than its current one more thought must go into discovery of those hooks which actually make, popular music popular.
