Description: Multiple Stellar Award-winner, Grammy-nominee, and perennial gospel music favorite, Marvin Sapp, has succeeded in establishing himself as one of the most recognizable voices in gospel music.

For Thirsty, Sapp teamed up with producers Aaron Lindsey, Myron Butler, his choir Levi, and New Breed. The cd was recorded live, before a capacity crowd.
"If you're a casual fan of gospel music, and haven't heard Marvin Sapp before, he typically creates 3 types of songs: songs about 1) praise & worship, 2) the Names of God/Who God is, and 3) God's blessings and deliverance. All three of these themes are present in 'Thirsty,' which is by far Sapp's most emotional, most journeyed release. The songs are moving, reflective, and place you in a spirit of thankfulness and worship. Not since 'The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin' have I seen a more personal, introspective look at an artist through his/her music. Its one of those CDs that makes you feel like you're at the CONCERT instead. If you enjoy Smallwood, Yolanda, Fred Hammond, or any genre where music comes from the heart, Marvin Sapp's Thirsty won't disappoint."
Great CD

"I hesitated buying this cd, because at times, his grainy voice is hard to take. But from the first song to the very end, this release is truly a blessing. When I first heard the song " Never Would Have Made It " I knew this was a cd that I just had to have.

At the top of his craft

"Pastor Sapp has a finally found his comfort level and has a complete project that blesses you from begining to end. His voice and conviction finds a place in your situation and ministers to it. This album has pushed all other projects to the back of my Ipod. If you want to be ministered to by the greatest singing voice in gospel today, by all means purchase this cd quickly. This record has everything that you will need to get through the day or any situation. What a gift to the body of Christ this voice and vessell is. Buy one for the home and the car......"
Excellent!
