I must admit I am not sure that a whole album of acapella singing may be too much of a good thing, rather like too much cream on your scones, but I have to give the Martins huge credit for originality. Here we have 10 tracks which start with "He's Everything To Me", nicely setting the tone for an album of seriously strong Christian material. The picks of the album for me are "Fairest Lord Jesus", "Praise To The Lord" (which works extremely well) and a trio including the lovely "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing". The final track "You Will Never Walk Alone" lets the album down, as I don't feel this works at all. All I can say is that if you are a devotee of acapella music you may want to investigate.

Product Description
From their days of perfecting blends in their Arkansas childhood home to their inspiring performances at the White House, Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center, The Martins have set the benchmark for a cappella music with their unmistakable, three-part harmonies.

Award-winning siblings Joyce, Jonathan and Judy raise that bar again by recording their first all-new a cappella release in over a decade.

Featuring powerful, new arrangements of familiar hymns and beloved classics, the recording showcases the signature, impeccable blends that have been bringing audiences to their feet for years.
