Godspell
»rank: 3022
0ur Review: :Jesus was a pretty popular guy in New York in 1971; as the ersatz star of both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. lf Superstar was a little dark, Godspell was positively frothy; and its portrayal of Jesus as a hippie clown was part of its goofy charm. Another part was Stephen Schwartz's nifty score; a little naive and dated, but also as hummable as anything in history. Slap this in the CD player and be transported back ...

Kirk Franklin and the Family Christmas
»rank: 1374
0ur Review: :Anyone who's seen Kirk Franklin live knows that he's a powerful entertainer and an animated gospel singer who brings the church and the word with him wherever he goes. Christmas is Franklin's testament to faith and a showcase for some of the finest gospel singers in the Family as they soar through standards such as 'Silent Night' and 'Go Tell lt 0n The Mountain,' along with less familiar fare such as 'Now Behold the Lamb' and 'They ...

Cash: Ultimate Gospel
»rank: 1792
0ur Review: :Gospel was what Johnny Cash, Luther Perkins, and Marshall Grant originally wanted to record when they auditioned for Sam Phillips in 1954. ln 1958, Sun Records' refusal to let Cash record a gospel album--despite his track record of hits--led him to leave for Columbia. This well-chosen package delineates sacred music's ongoing role in Cash's career, beginning with two 197O performances from his ABC variety show, one featuring longtime Cash friend Rev. Billy Graham. The 1957 Sun tunes ...

Christmas Shoes
»rank: 787
0ur Review: :Veteran Christian band Newsong decided to include the sentimental ballad, 'Christmas Shoes,' as a bonus track on 2OOO's Sheltering Tree, unaware that the almost 0. Henry-esque tale about a young boy attempting to buy a pair of shoes as a Christmas present for his dying mother would blow up into a massive hit. So overwhelming was the response to that song (it landed atop Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart) that the group decided to fashion an entire holiday ...

Fruitcake And Ice Cream (DVD+CD)
»rank: 1364
0ur Review: :An Unlikely Collision of Friendship and Grace The message heard by students around the world on the seventeen-city Passion World Tour Sometimes the best things in life are those we're not even sure we're looking for at the time, but those we realize we can't live without in the end. That's the story of Ashley, a somewhat typical college senior--loving life, partying hard and trying to balance it all with success in the classroom. Disengaged from ...

The Gift
»rank: 2751
0ur Review: :Jim Brickman's 1997 holiday package is all satin bows and glowing hearth embers, precisely the approach his romantically inclined legions would have wished him to take. Those with less sentimental ears might argue that at times the pianist's approach is a touch too sweet. 'Joy to the World' would be more affecting as a solo work, for instance, and we could have done without the strings and music-box embellishments heard in 'Angels.' Yet Brickman compensates by delicately ...
