"These three young women from East Tennessee are absolutely fantastic. They are multi-talented, have gorgeous voices, and are obviously devoted to their music and their faith. While this reviewer is a "heathen" at best, and not often attracted to gospel music, this group certainly reached me with their talent and song. I saw them in concert at a county festival in Casey County, KY this past weekend. I had the privilege of listening to their performance three times on Saturday (wish I could have listened three times more). I strongly advise if you ever get the opportunity to see them in person, don't miss the chance. Their stage presence, sincerity, and audience rapport would make them a joy in any setting. Their sound is reminiscent of ballads and folk songs. My favorite songs on this album are "I Am Loved" and "Set Me Free". Their first album is a true delight as well. I actually like it more than this one, but, they are both treasures to be listened to over and over and over. This trio can easily win one over to their beautiful sound. Mandee, Cristi, and Carrie - keep the faith, I know that you will. (hey, visit these guys at alathea.com)"

What a band! What an album!

"Great music, beautiful voices and three totally cool girls. These three girls from Tennessee make the best music. Yet their lives and their love for Christ are so authentic they make me want to know more about the God they represent. The album is awesome but if you want to know what Alathea is all about, you've got to see them in concert."

Can't stop listening

"I really dig this CD. I keep listening to it again and again, for almost a year. Fun, poignant, toe-tappin', soul-searching. Great variety, great harmony. Makes you want to move to Nashville."
