They are still as good as ever

"I love their sincerity that comes across in their music and I am so proud of them for choosing to sing songs praising God. They know who to give the thanks too."
Fantastic album!

"Wow... this is an amazing album. Diamond Rio's finest hour. The songs really are uplifting and lyrics inspired. I also like the slight change in their tone, expanded to some new styles, yet retaining the classic DR harmonies. Get this album, you'll enjoy it!"
Good CD

"First of all, let me state that I am a BIG fan of the Grand Ole Opry (of which Diamond Rio is a member). I also like Diamond Rio as an individual band. Lastly, I am a Christian and certainly love and appreciate good Gospel music---especially Country Gospel.
So, why only 4 stars instead of 5. Well...basically this:
I would have to seen a big more Country flavor in the recording, rather than CCM which is readily available elsewhere. Yes, there are some Country flavored tunes, but I would have preferred a real strong Country Gospel album. There is so much CCM out there already. Just my opinion----but other than that, it is a great CD."
Awesome Album!!!

"Great Job Guys!! I have been a huge Diamond Rio fan for years and have been waiting for a Gospel/Contemporary Christian album. The whole ablum is worth buying. It is musically beautiful and great songwriting!"
Diamond Rio still shines

"They may have been through a lot of personal changes since they began this group but one thing shines on, their vocal quality. I hope this is the first of many CCM CDs they release. The harmonies are spot on. The lyrics in these songs really accent their beliefs. Get the book "Beautiful Mess" to go with this to really understand what a full circle they have traveled over the years. I wish them all the best and continued success in all they do. Looking forward to future releases."
