Hymns of Worship

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Fernando Ortega

February 11, 2003
I bought this CD soley for Mr. Ortega's outstanding arrangement of "Give Me Jesus". As a church choir member in a progressive Catholic Church that includes a variety of liturgical music, we use a more traditional arrangement of "Give Me Jesus". After hearing Mr. Ortega on a Billy Graham special, I wanted my choir director to hear this more contemplative version of the old spiritual. "Give Me Jesus" is not the only treasure on this CD, but some of the music may not be to the listener's taste. At times I thought I was listening to a country western or bluegrass album. Mr. Ortega delivers "Glory to the Lamb" with appropriate enthusiasm and his own composition, "I Will Praise Him, Still" is excellent. I would certainly purchase other CD's of Mr. ... Read More:

Greatest Hits

by: Amy Grant

October 02, 2007
I thoroughly enjoy this CD. There is a selection of both the Christian and secular sides of her work. The soundmix is wonderful and she is very, very talented. I can very much recommend this CD to anyone that likes her style of music.

We'll Never Turn Back

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Mavis Staples

April 24, 2007
I confess, I was never part of the civil rights movement, but Mavis gives us a living, breathing account of those times. This album perfectly conveys that message. But I think what so defines this music is that the themes are so universal. Injustice, prejudice, bigotry is wrong, whether you are living in Mississippi or in some other part of the world, we are all God's children and we must take a stand against it.

Christmastime

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Michael W. Smith

October 13, 1998
I have actually bought two of these, one for the house and one for my car. I love the original "Christmastime" and even my music savvy 20 year old who loves Keane, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, The Fray, etc., deemed "Christmastime" her favorite Christmas song this year. If you want to add to your Christmas music collection with something different than choirs or acoustic guitar ... this is the CD to buy!

Remedy Club Tour Edition (CD+DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: David Crowder*Band

August 19, 2008
From DCB's classics such as "Everything Glorious", "Here Is Our King" and "O Praise Him" to new releases like "Can You Feel It?" and "...neverending..." this is a G R E A T CD/DVD! As a contemporary Christian band, DCB truly rocks!

Moreover, a very cool feature included in the DVD is that the band teaches you how to play the songs (including the "guitar-hero thing" that David does) =)

Dial M

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Starflyer 59

October 28, 2008
Starflyer 59 continues to break new ground with a cult following despite always eluding the attention of the mainstream. Starflyer is Jason Martin's solo project with a revolving cast of band members. With 15 years in the books Martin continues to rock despite the "kids who want a faster beat".

Dial M is Martin's latest annual project and it fires on all cylinders. With a sound reminiscent of the Brothers Martin album released last year, Martin picks up where "My Island" left off. Demos of Dial M were released last year as the vinyl box set "Ghosts of the Future".

The Dial M versions of the "Ghosts" material are fresher and more produced. Songs like "The Brightest of the Head" and "I Love You Like the Little Bird" have received ... Read More:

God's Property From Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Kirk Franklin

May 27, 1997
I heard "Stomp" while I was waiting in line at Macys and had to have it. I had no idea who sang it but with some on line searching was able to find Kirk Franklin. Bought the CD and absolutely love it! I've been a Kirk Franklin fan ever since.

Cannons

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Phil Wickham

October 02, 2007
I am not the type of person who likes specific artists. I like individual songs, and usually only a couple of songs from each artists impresses me. So when I heard "After Your Heart" on the radio and liked it, I wasn't expecting to purchase the entire CD. But I listened to song, after song, after song, and realized there was not one song on the CD I did not instantly loved. To this date this CD (and Phil's other CD) are the only two full albums I have ever bought.

Each song is unique, beautiful, and amazing. Every time I listened to a new song I thought, "I've never heard anything like this before." Phil has incredible talent, and most of all, incredible passion for Christ. His love for Jesus and wish to see God practically bleeds into every aspect ... Read More:

Country Bluegrass Homecoming, Vol. 1

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
starring: Bill Gaither, Gloria Gaither, Homecoming Friends

August 19, 2008
THIS IS A VERY GOOD (Not Great), BUT VERY GOOD COUNTRY BLUEGRASS HOMECOMING CONCERT DVD. The atmosphere, or at least the background props are great and go along with the music performed. I have mixed feelings about the rating on this "Homecoming series", I agree somewhat with the first reviewer who gave it a 2 star rating. However, it's one of those dvd's that seems to grow on you the more your watch it. It does have some "gems" in it.

It consists of 21 songs, and a song during the credits part.

It contains approximately 95 minutes of music. It features performances from: Vince Gill, the Gaither Vocal Band, The Issacs, Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives, Ralph Stanley, George Jones, The Grascals, Dailey Vincent, Cherryholmes, the ... Read More:
