"GREAT LISTENING GOSPEL MUSIC THAT I WISH I COULD HEAR MORE OF WHILE REVIEWING AS I CAN DO WHILE REVIEWING BLUE NOTE LABLE MUSIC WHERE THEY PLAY THE ENTIRE ALBUM EACH SONG/HYMN AT A TIME TO COMPLETION. PLZ TAKE UNDER CONSIDERTION AS 30 SECONDS IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TO CRITIQUE. THANX!!"
Perhaps the Best Gospel Album of All Time!

"I cannot praise this recording highly enough - "Peace Be Still" is the epitome of high-octane black gospel. Cleveland's vocals raise the roof, and the Angelic Choir provides the perfect counter-punch, complemented by bluesy keyboards and swinging percussion (the drums on "I Will Wear a Crown" have an almost surf-rock feel). And the rousing doxology and amens ("Praise God") provide the perfect conclusion. If you are a fan of gospel, you must have this record! If you are interested in gospel, this is the place to start.Unfortunately, Rev. Cleveland never equalled this masterpiece. If anyone knows of any albums that sound like "Peace Be Still," I would love to hear about them."
