The best recording of the year? It is good, I agree, but that's a pretty big statement! I enjoyed the CD, but really did not find it terribly different from or better than other Mike Bowling projects in the past.

I agree...I wouldn't say it was the BEST recording of the year, but I can't find fault with the 5 star rating either, because it's truly is a great recording; MUCH better than the Mike Bowling Group "Graceland". This new release sounds more true to who Mike & Kelly are, musically. If the Original Hinsons were still around today, I can definitely see them releasing something exactly like "Faith to Believe."

The only song I really just cannot get into is their rendition of "We Have a Savior". After hearing Priscilla McGruder sing the song, no one else has been able to touch it in my book. I don't know if it's the style or what, but I just can't get into M&KB;'s version. I just hit the skip button when it comes to the song.

Otherwise, this is an exeptional piece of work. Though I wouldn't call the BEST of 2008, it definitely is one of them!

I undeniably stand by my statement. It's the only CD I've heard this year where every song is a winner - yes - that includes "We Have a Saviour".

We need to write a song to the tune of "Stand By My Man" and title it "Stand by my Reviews"! LOL!

Well we can all agree to disagree right?!

James, what has your favorite cd been so far this year?

Mine has been Kim Hopper's solo project...much better than her first IMO!

There are two that I would rank as the best of 2008 so far this year:

Dove Brothers Quartet - Life
Gold City - Moment of Truth

Though I agree, Kim's new solo release is the best of the two ahe has released. I have been a fan of Kim since her days with the Greenes. Her new release is awesome.

I wouldn't call it the best CD of the year, but that's at least partly due to when it was originally released (2007). :o)

By the way, I think the best two CDs so far this year are Kim Hopper's and _When God Ran_ by the Kingsmen.

If forced to pick just one, I'd go with Kim Hopper's.

Actually - the new CD never saw it's release in 2007 like originally planned.

I liked the Kim Hopper CD - but I don't think it's the year's best by any stretch. Isn't it great that we can think so differently?
