I'm not sure of the wisdom in releasing in the UK a compilation like this one when some of the radio "hits" on offer only feature on the playlists of the rather anaemic American radio stations. Having said that, there are some gems here, Love And The Outcome, Big Daddy Weave and Sidewalk Prophets are all top talents while if you enjoy a bit of blue-eyed soul Chris August does it very well on "Unashamed Of You". It has to be said though as so often happens with American CCM, the radio stations, aware of their conservative audience, inevitably plump for the softer (and duller) tracks on an album.
