"I was driving when I heard this song on the radio and when the announcer said it was Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child by Bob Thompson, I knew I had to find this CD. I'd never heard of Bob Thompson, but he surely lets his fingers do the talking with his superb renditions of gospel classics. Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child starts this beautiful journey and Thompson does not disappoint with his jazzy takes of My Lord, What A Morning, Every Time I Feel The Spirit and Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho. Then Thompson slows things down with his soulful Deep River. The pace picks up again as Thompson gives us Over My Head with it's seemingly island/African influenced sound. Little David Play On Your Harp is another jazzy uptempo tune that'll have you tapping your toes and bobbing your head. As things slow down with Wade In The Water, Thompson rounds out this disc with the rousing Study War No More and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. This is a great addition to your CD collection."
