Worship Rocketown Style

"Rocketown Records artists have always had an emphasis on worship songs. Here, the best of these songs are collected in one place for fans to enjoy.Every artist on their current roster is part of this collection. At three songs, Chris Rice has the most with "Hallelujahs" from his first CD, "And Your Praise Goes On" from his second, and "Nothin'" from EXODUS. The CD ends with a live version of "Hallelujahs" as well. It would have been nice to see something else in that spot, but since it's the title of the CD, I guess it makes sense. Watermark is well represented by "Gloria" and "Holy," two very strong tracks. Ginny Owens gets personal with "All I Want to Do" and "I Am Nothing." Shaun Groves is featured with "Your Renown," Out of the Grey has "Grace, Mercy, and Peace," Ronnie Freeman does "Come to the River," and Alathea sings "Emmanuel," probably my favorite from their debut CD. The CD also features two live recordings with all the artists, "My Jesus, I Love Thee" and "You Are My All in All."One thing that's very nice about this collection is the part of the notes where the artists talk about what these songs mean to them personally. It adds another layer to the songs.While I already had most of these songs in other locations, I've found this CD is great for focusing on God and my relationship with Him. As with everything Rocketown does, I'm sure I'll be listening to this CD for a long time to come."
