"Wow, I have been anticipating this CD for a long time and when I heard it, I was not dissappointed. I do believe that Donald Lawrence is one of the most talented and anointed producers out there. His ability to write songs that tough the heart of our spirit is nothing short of God given. Although I was looking for something totally new and fresh, the Cd was old D. Lawrence, which is still a very good thing. It has some songs that will get you out of your seat in a holy dance like "Testify" and "Never Seen the Righteous." Then it has other song that will leave you in praise and worship and full of tears like "When the saints go to Worship", "Love the Hurt Away", and "Superman". All in all, this is a very good album, probably one of the best out there next to Hez. Walker's "Family Affair" and Fred Hammonds new upcoming album. Get this album, you'll be glad you did."

Once Again, Donald and Tri-City Have a Hit on Their Hands

"I heard a local gospel station playing "God's Favor" long before this CD was released. I knew right away that this was Donald Lawrence and Tri-City. Only Donald could get three power houses like Kelly, Kim, and Karen together on one single...and, of course, the Tri-City sound is quite distinctive. That single alone was worth the price of the entire CD.Fortunately, all of the songs on the CD are worthy of note. Donald and Tri-City will have you falling out in the aisles with a song like "God's Favor" and then will have you getting your praise on with jams like "Testify" and "I Have Never Seen the Righteous Forsaken".Two of my particular favorites, however, are "And Yet, I'm Still Saved" and "Let the Lord Minister 2 Ya". Donald Lawrence's lyrics are always relevant and speak to people in their real life situations. These songs have been a blessing to me.I am impressed with the fact that Lawrence's lyrics are always very steeped in Biblical truths. "Uzziah", while talking about a Biblical character and issue that is rarely touched upon in contemporary gospel songs, is a cool latin-flavored jam!I highly recommend this CD to all who appreciate good contemporary gospel. Donald and Tri-City definitely have a hit on their hands with this one."

OUTSTANDINGLY AWESOME TOTALLY INSPIRATIONAL

"Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers have always been one of my favorite groups. Donald has never ceased to express the anointing that the Lord has placed on his life. His inspiration comes through in his music. His love of the Lord and his compassion for God's people is unmistakable in every word. I appreciate the way in which he allows the spirit to flow through him. Whenever I see him, I can see the sensitivity in his eyes and feel the love and compassion in my spirit. I enjoy his music tremendously and this choir is second to none. I will always be a DL/TCS admirer. I thank God for men who are strong enough to allow the Lord to use them, weak enough to be used, sensitive enough to respond and smart enough to be thankful. I encourage Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers to go forward in the Lord. To Donald if you read this you be encouraged to continue. Stand for right and never allow your principles to be comprised. You're doing a great work, please don't come dow. This album ia awesome and I am Godly proud of the job you are doing."

E-MENSELY INSPIRATIONAL!

"With their fourth project, Donald Lawrence and Tri-city travel not only into cyber culture but also into heights of testimony and praise which will leave you breathless. Expectations have been high around this CD, and although their are a couple of slight disappointments along the way, "Tri-city4.com" brings out the very best and most personal in DL and the Singers.This project offers an embarrassment of riches which will appeal to Gospel lovers of all tastes. "When the Saints go to Worship" is a devastatingly ravishing worship number which should appear on all "Best of" Gospel collections and is worth the cost of the CD on its own. But that is hardly the start. As a colleague suggested to me, "God's Favor" with Karen Clark-Shepard, Kim Burrell and Kelly Price will be causing heart attacks all around the country with its deep felt praise and worship feel, not to mention amazing solo and trio performances. "Sign-me Up" features the Williams Brothers in the most traditional cut on the CD, a get-down, funky, head'n off to church song. Then there is the Murrills debuting in a movingly tender prayer for healing, "Love that Hurt Away". Although much of this CD's underlying power comes from DL's personal testimonials in selections such as "Blessed" and "Let the Lord Minister to Ya" and the passion this brings to the rest of the devotional pieces on the CD, "Tri-City4.com" also features two of the most explosively joyful up-tempo numbers in recent memory. "Never seen the Righteous" erupts with a large R&B horn section arrangement that soars on an infectious House beat and ebullient ensemble singing from the choir. "Uzziah" is a salsa number which would make Marc Anthony proud, blazing forth with spirited rythms and convincingly authentic band playing which put most other Gospel cross-genre writing to shame. Finally, "Superman", a song which might raise some eyebrows with what seems like a forced concept and thin lyrics, takes off into the realm of the ethereal with DL, Arnetta Murrill-Crooms, and Lejuene Thompson trading the sweetest of vocal lines while the choir creates a most gentlly hushed lullaby, all of which is delivered wrapped up in the caring embrace of Reggie Graves' magical acoustic guitar. This is a very special recording, part studio and part live. Highly accomplished, deeply devotional, yet ever so personal and real. A must buy which will reward you time and time again as you return to discover the many ways that it will minister to your heart and soul."

Up There with Kirk

"For all of those who like Kirk Franklin, you'll cerainly like this CD led by frontman Donald Lawrence. NEVER SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS SUPERMAN and others just takes one breath away as well as puts one in the spirit of worship and praise to the one and only Saviour-GOD. This CD is very good!!"
