In general I think the genre of Contemporary Christian Music is an unfortunate spin-off from pop /rock. I hate its impact on worship in church, on Christian radio and on the shallowing out of people's taste in music in general. So if I'm enthusiastic about this CD, it's noteworthy. The songs are overall musically decent, and while some of the vocals are more rasped than musically sung, the sincerity of the performer communicates well. These songs are ripe for higher brow musical arrangement and good singing being applied to give them another audience.
