Most peaceful cd ever! August 27, 2008
T. Johansen (MN, USA)
I absolutely love Chris Rice's recordings of these hymns. My favorite song is "O' Freedom"- but they are all great. Its totally cool how he modernizes these songs, yet doesn't start from scratch. He preserves their original "song" but just tweaks them and makes them fun to listen to. If you've never heard of Chris Rice, but love hymns- this is a great album. I highly recommend all of Chris Rice's CD's. My favorite album of his though is "amusing".
Good. June 17, 2008

Chis shows his talent. This collect is great for those who love hymns. For the most part he keeps with the original tunes. Very good album for those who collect hymns

I'm not a die-hard fan of any musician, but I've ended up buying almost every Chris Rice album in the stores. I didn't even know about this one until the other day. It's quickly become my favorite album. Chris Rice has a beautiful voice that is easy for me to sing along with (thankfully for all involved I usually sing alone). The hymns chosen for this album were well chosen. The joy of this album is that (unlike many other hymn albums by others), Chris Rice makes familiar hymns new and pleasing without over-the-top embellishments that typically serve to direct heart worship away from Jesus and onto the performer. Most of the songs are largely vocal with gentle harmony and soft guitar or piano accompaniment. Of particular note, I find the song, "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go," my absolute favorite (and I don't think I'd even heard it before this album). If Chris ever reads this review, please make another album like this one!

This CD has some wonderful old hymns in it. This is an older CD but it is new to me. I am discovering that Chris Rice is really a great artist. He has a great voice and he is a master on the piano and guitar.

If you're a Chris Rice fan, you'll love this CD. I really like the selection of classic hymns and the fact that Chris doesn't substantially deviate from the traditional rendering of the melodies. Backup harmony and his trademark simple guitar & percussion adds to the charm. Reminds me of Amy Grant's Legacy: Hymns and Faith, another wonderful album. This album works because his singing is sincere, but not too sentimental or overbearing. I love it.
