Steve S. (Reno-ness) from ARROYO GRANDE, wrote on 6/6/2007...

This was a very good year for Xtian music. Steven Curtis is here. Jars, DC and Newsboys represent. Petra? Yes. Audio Adrenaline? Solid. Third Day? Of course! And the chicks: Twila, Cindy, Rebecca, Margaret, and Sierra. Tracks by the solid Mullins, Duncan and Carman also. Great party album to go with that spirited game of Twister.
