L. Spenser Smith & TESTAMENT - ASSIGNMENT No. 1 CD review
Sunny Hawkins - 'More of You'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Most of these tunes have strong pop overtones laying on a smooth bed of R&B, but several add a nice jazz flair."
Da’ T.R.U.T.H. – 'The Faith'
The bottom line about Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s release, The Faith, is that it is hard-hitting and strong, well-crafted and passionate, with great beats and a great message.
Admiral Twin - 'Creatures of Bread & Wine'
Catchy pop-rock that's bright and upbeat is what this talented and fresh band brings to the table. However, the lyrics are pretty veiled, leaving me a bit confused.
Flatfoot 56 - 'Knuckles Up'
Flatfoot 56 is loud and proud and if you like punk, you'll love these guys. The celtic elements intermixed make it the most unusual release of the year and musically as well as lyrically, they're on the money.
Amy Grant - 'Greatest Hits 1986 - 2004'
This CD features 17 of Amy Grant's re-mastered hits and features Amy herself as the executive producer.
Tim Hughes - 'When Silence Falls'
It is very clear after listening to "When Silence Falls" that Tim Hughes is only interested in one thing ... praising God with every word that comes out of his mouth.
Grand Prize - 'Identity'
Grand Prize's debut release on A’postrophe Records is catchy, enthusiastic, energetic and sincere. 'Identity' is definitely worth a listen.
Desperation Band - 'Who You Are'
Reviewer Aaron Hollis says, "This is a very solid album overall. Desperation Band delivers a much needed more modern worship album with originality."
Michael Cook - 'Imprint'
Michael Cook has the intelligence and the passion to create good music, and while this is not the most exciting debut of the year, I think we’ll be hearing more from him, and I myself look forward to it.
Andy Chrisman - 'One'
Andy Chrisman's debut solo outing is bouncy, energetic and at times very worshipful, but you're gonna have to like pop for this one!
Amy Grant - 'Rock of Ages, Hymns & Faith'
Producers Vince Gill & Brown Bannister give us, as you would expect, an impeccable offering on Amy Grant's 'Rock of Ages Hymns & Faith', with that amazing voice floating over perfect instrumentation and nice arrangements."
Kent Bottenfield - 'Take Me Back'
This former All-Star pitcher is for real. Kent Bottenfield doesn't hide behind the glory years of yesterday, maintaining a picture perfect image of a man with no problems. He steps out and steps to the plate and shows us a man who is human ... a man who has lost his way ... and a man who ultimately findsd his way back home.
Avalon - 'Another Time, Another Place: Timeless Christian Classics'
Avalon members were inspired by each and every one of these songs to do what they do and their versions will inspire you. Another hats-off moment for Avalon.
The Afters - 'I Wish We All Could Win'
On I Wish We All Could Win, The Afters know how to lead us right to the Throne, and yes, we all win there.
4HIM – 'Encore . . . For Future Generations'

Cross Culture - 'Proof Positive'
Justin David, Chris Wright and Dan Harris, collectively known as Cross Culture, bring a mixture of funk, rock, jazz, hard, melodic rock, gospel, alternative and rap to the table with a sprinkling of salsa and a large dose of lyrics that make you think.
Jon Foreman - 'Fall and Winter'
Jon Foreman is growing and maturing and he is gracefully sharing this with us through his solo releases. He embraces the good and he doesn't hide from the bad or the ugly. To me, this means so much. I respect Jon even more now than before because he seems even more real than before.
Avalon - 'Faith: A Hymn Collection'
Avalon has always had great talent, so good music coming from their camp isn't at all unexpected. This new glimpse of Avalon takes the cake, however, and stands above their previous award-winning releases.
The Afters - 'Never Going Back To OK'
Never Going Back To OK is a really strong sophomore effort from The Afters. They are establishing themselves as a band with a lot of all-around appeal to Christian fans as well as secular audiences.
Jessie Daniels - 'Jessie Daniels'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Daniels sings with an aggressive insistency that pairs up perfectly with the recurring theme of God’s pursuit, through pop and outstanding concept songs."
