“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”.

Key words...Wayne Haun. He produced the Perrys latest project (which is one of their best) and Legacy Five's latest project (their best in my opinion).

I don't have the Hoskins Family project yet, but I look forward to getting it.

I know this project's been out for a while, but I just recently purchased it. I have to say it is by far the best Hoskins Family project to date. The vocals are right on and the harmony is tight. There are a lot of cds lately that have been getting 5 stars that are not close to being as good as this one!

I recently attended one of your concerts,you have God given talent and the harmony is outstanding.I have to tell you your music is too loud and took away the enjoyment. We left before it was over and so did other people.It actually vibarated the seats we were sitting in.Please take this to heart and lower your volume in the future.
Thank You, C. Winegar

My favorite songs on this CD are "City Limits" and "Somebody's Praying Right Now." I think "I'm Believin" would be a good song for a choir to sing in church. Another song I like is "The Sound of His Voice."

The Hoskins have a great amount of talent. However, I think I like the Safe Thus Far project better than this one. I guess time will tell if this CD, like so many others, grows on me. LOL
