Amazon.com Of all the ways that musicians across the globe have responded to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the legacy that will likely survive is the dozens of benefit compilation recordings. Released on the one-year anniversary of September 11, Let's Roll is surely among the most interesting of these. The proceeds from the disc benefit the Todd M. Beamer Foundation, established to help the children affected by these events. Performers range from the finest artists in the mainstream contemporary Christian music community, plus a few well-placed celebs, such as Wynonna and Yo-Yo Ma, who neither sound out of place or here just for show. Many of the artists, including 38th Parallel, dcTalk, and James Curlin, appeal to the power of bombastic, anthemic music to channel their patriotic and faith-filled messages. But the most successful songs here employ restraint, subtlety, and grace, as on the beautiful fingerpicked guitar stylings of Nick Moroch and Don Potter. The disc's shining moments arrive in the form of uplifting and gorgeous lullaby ballads from Jennifer Knapp, Nicole C. Mullen, and an absolutely golden-throated Ms. Chaka Khan. --Mike McGonigal Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsTruly inspiring and uplifting! Robyn George | Broken Arrow, OK United States | 10/03/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was unaware that this CD had been recorded. I stumbled across it and purchased it. It is amazing. I was moved to tears during "Don't Ask Why". It is beautiful and if you read Lisa Beamer's Book, "Let's Roll", it is even more so. I absolutely got (and still get) goosebumps during the rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" song and spoken prayer by Congressmen J.C. Watts (from my home state)and Tom Delay along with the Men's Breakfast Group and Friends. Again, after reading Lisa Beamer's book and learning the significance of Todd Beamer's Breakfast group made the reading even more powerful." This CD is a "must-have" Kathryn Bye | 10/18/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is unbelievable! A must-have CD!!! Beautifully recorded with a wide range of songs...I truly appreciate the way it goes from the strong rock sound of DC Talk to the soothing and gracious sound of YoYo Ma - just a great spectrum of music. Chaka Khan has never sounded better; Joy Williams, James Curlin, and Jody McBrayer (from Avalon) have probably the best ballad on the CD - their voices blending into one. "The Lord's Prayer" will bless your soul. This CD is true beauty coming out of tragedy." A Good Collection S. Peek | Rocky Mountains, USA | 03/15/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "I just recently ran across this album although it was done in 2002. It was done as a benefit for the Todd Beamer Foundation to benefit children affected by the 9/11 attacks.
It caught my attention mainly because it had a song by dcTalk that I had not previously heard. As I love virtually all of their music, it seemed like a must buy. Ironically, while their song was pretty good, it is not one of the best ones on this CD. The two best songs are 'Light Of The World' which is done by Jennifer Knapp, Tobymac, and others along with 'I See You In His Eyes' by Nicole C. Mullen. Those two are great by any standard. This collection really has a diverse group of artists ranging from Wynonna to Yo-Yo Ma. Although not a great overall CD, there are some songs that definitely make it worthwhile." |
