Another side of John McDermott
msiringo | Point Pleasant, New Jersey United States | 04/21/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"John McDermott, one of the original Irish Tenors,
has released a dozen or more solo recordings over the past
ten years, ranging in composition from traditional Irish ballads to songs honoring Veterans of all wars. In "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" (sometimes listed under the title "My Forever Friend"), John has selected and recorded 17 tracks of
inspirational music, from familiar titles such as "Ave Maria,"
"The Holy City," and "Amazing Grace," to some not-so-familiarones, like "Shelter Me," "My Forever Friend," and the title
song, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." The album opens with an excellent interpretation of the old Cat Stevens tune,
"Morning Has Broken," which it was good to hear again. Ironically, I received my copy of this CD on Good Friday, so
I sat and listened to it twice. Being a
die-hard McDermott fan, I cannot say enough in praise of
this particular recording. The voice, as always, is superb,
and the choice of material right on the money. As someone who
has been fortunate enough to be in attendance at four of John's
concerts, as well as owning two copies of everything he has
ever recorded, I can attest to the fact that this man
never disappoints. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who
has enjoyed John's earlier work, as well as to those who may
be listening for the first time.Playing time is approximately 65 minutes."
Better buy several copies

"We could hardly wait to get this release as John McDermott has been delighting family and friends for years with his music. On this album, he has recorded an inspiring mix of treasured hymns and comforting contemporary spiritual songs. Beginning with "Morning Has Broken," John's second offering is "Shelter Me" The heartfelt lyrics sung with great tenderness and understanding just release the tears. Mom is still thrilled over "Abide With Me" while my other favorites include "How Deep the Father's Love for Us," "My Forever Friend," "Be Not Afraid," and "Lord of the Dance." As always, I have also learned from John...he has recorded SIX verses for "Amazing Grace" So as I said, better buy several copies. You will want your loved ones to have their own copies, so you won't have to stand guard over yours! You're going to need one for the car, too. Traffic snarls are much more bearable when you're harmonizing with John."
A Beautiful and Inspirational Album!

""Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is a beautiful and inspirational album of Christian hymns, old and new. John McDermott's voice lends a warmth and sincerety often missing in such works. The hymns themselves showcase the wide range of Mr. McDermott's voice beginning softly with "Morning Has Broken" , and slowly building to the crowning glory of the album, "The Lord's Prayer." This album is a must buy, not only for fans of John McDermott, but for Christians everywhere."
