Guide Review - Kirk & Joni Bovill - 'Are You Ready?'
There are times when you run across musical magic that words just can't adequately describe. This CD brought me to one of those times. It's a rare gem in a world of stones. Kirk and Joni, a husband and wife team, combine to bring an excellent mixture of musicianship, added to by some of their friends, who lent their time and skill to this project. The entire CD is a mixture of powerful messages and heart felt lyrics. Kirk and Joni deliver a vocal punch that is as refreshing as it is exciting.
It would be unfair as well as nearly impossible to only pick one or two songs that stand out above the others. Some of my personal favorites are "Let Go", "Are You Ready?" and "Just Keepin it Real". I can't leave out their rockin' rendition of "Amazing Grace". This cut is one that takes you just about the last place you figure you'll go not far into the song.
In my opinion, this is one of the best CDs out there. I think that this husband and wife team is definitely a force to be recognized in the industry.
