(4 out of 5 stars)

"I had ran across some Dan Zanes children's records before and was glad to hear some kid's music made with heart and spirit and not dumbed down blandness. So it's great to hear this collection where Dan revs up some old Gospel. Gospel is a genre guilty of dumbed down blandness to be sure so Dan has done this trick twice. His band has a really organic vibey sound with a lovely use of folk instrumentation and harmonies. It made me go out and buy a Rosetta Tharp record! Makes your foot kick and your heart feel glad. It's the beauty of the message-everyone is welcome. There is a dearth of exciting and challenging Christian Art being made so this a welcome release. This is not to say Zanes is a Christian (I don't know) but he definitely puts across the music in a positive way. Shoot Tom Waits does some dynamite gospel on record. Anyways, it's a good time."
