“Going to another level musically” seems to be an everytime happening when the Hoskins Family record. This CD is no exception. Stylistically they have gone to another level that they have never achieved before. This CD stretched them vocally with things I never thought they would be doing, but they are doing them as good as anyone I’ve heard.
Included on this CD are some good ole Campmeeting style songs, which would include the opening song “Ordinary Sunday.” There is an incredible ballad performed in typical Angie style, and interpreted as only she can. Not only would “Places To Go, People To See” make a great radio release, but this song will reach out and touch your heart. There is a very nice hymn featuring Reva. “The Palm Of His Hand” is very worshipful, and will fit into any church service. Jim takes the lead on a traditional Southern Gospel song. “The Sound Of His Voice” has a message of hope, and Jim does a splendid job expressing this song.
Sheri LaFontaine has penned a very interesting song about heaven which features Angie. “What Are You Doing Right Now?” will have you singing along and you’ll find yourself thinking about someone who has already gone to heaven. Rick is featured on “My God Is Able” and this cut would do great on radio also. You will hear some really tight harmony on this one.
My favorite song is “Pray Down The Power”. What a message this song has. The track is driving from start to finish, add a choir in the background, some fancy stereo effects (especially with headphones on), and a little bit of “Soul” by Jim and Angie, and you have one great song. I really hope they release this one to radio.
The CD ends with a cute song by Angie and her daughter. “How Did God Know” will have every Mother grabbing for a box of Kleenex.
Other songs include “I’m Believin”, “I’ll Pray You On Your Way”, and “Somebody’s Praying Right Now”.

"City Limits" is my fav. I agree with the 4 stars Deon and I agree with David, it departs from the branching out of their last recording, and leans more towards the traditional side. I don't particulary see this recording as "Going to another level musically."
This is a project everyone needs to add to their collection!!!
Keep those powerful songs coming!You are one of my favorite groups.

:light: And then how they love to worship the Lord. They are in SGM for all the right reasons AND :offtopic: they are with the right record company to make their job easier to do what SGM is all about. Join me in praying for the Hoskins daily, won't you? 
I've only had the opportunity to listen to this CD twice since I got it. I have to agree with the comment above regarding the versatility of styles. The Hoskins Family have a super project here! Some great production work again by Wayne Haun also.
