Gospel music for anybody

"Ok many people are not hardcore classic country gospel fans.

They like some Eagles and like some bluegrass and like some clean country.

But the traditional gospel sounds like a tent show to them or some hard core

moralist hectoring them to be saved. Ok, fine for the devotee,

but not so good for the average joe who isn't.



Well this is the CD for the average person with leanings towards faith,

and wanting music with a good conscious and heart behind it.



The Issacs are a family act, an adult one, and real pros.

They have gorgeous harmonies, on songs that tell stories,

give you a nice Aesopian moral to the story and don't shove

it down your throat. It is also as much about the music as

message. Great players working well together.

If you knew NO ENGLISH, you would like their music.



The instrumentation leans towards acoustic country / bluegrass,

but not heavy on banjo rolls and songs of 'the lords might sword' etc.

It is modern and yet classic musically and the arrangements are

very clean and tight. Lovely production on all levels.



I have played this for my mother-in-law who speaks not a word of English, she enjoyed it.

My wife loves it and plays it regularly mornings. She sings along.

My 19 year old god-daughter, a budding song writer,

fell in love with it on 1st time listening.



I play music on 6 instruments in dozens of styles from bluegrass

to salsa and bebop jazz. I really enjoy this album every time

it's played. I have yet to burn out on it, and don't really expect to.



If you wanted to try out todays gospel music this would be a fine choice."

I wish I were an Isaacs!

"The Heroes Album is great. I am not a review writer but I have this album and went to buy another Isaacs album and was offended by that other woman's hostile review I had to counter it. When she says Sonja can't sing I don't know what she is talking about- hello?? Sonja was just nominated and WON Female Vocalist of the Year 2007 for the Inspirational Country Singers. So, I want to say that I love love love the Isaacs family- all of them. They are all talented and a blessing to this fellow servant of the Lord. I can't get enough of them, I wish I were an Isaacs! They have beautiful harmony in their voice and in their ministry and in their hearts. I have seen them off the stage and they are real and lovely. So, yeah this album is great. Love the Heroes, If That Don't Make You Want To Go and Sweet Holy Spirit those are my favorite tracks, but really I love them all. Anyway, thanks Isaacs! :)"
