If I’m not mistaken, “I Have An Anchor” is actually not a new song but is a remake of a song Jim did with his wife and father-in-law when they traveled as the Schulers. They were a wonderful trio as you can probably imagine. I’ve always liked the song and I can’t wait to hear the Booths’ rendition.

I’m really looking forward to getting this one. I have everything they’ve done since Stage of Grace, minus the Cowboy CD and the 3 CD re-release (which I also want). They put out the best table projects in the industry.

Thanks, Nathan… I figured either Jim or Ronnie. Really, either of them could do a great job with that kind of song.

I have this CD…it is so good!!!! These guys never cease to impress me. They are so genuine about ministering the gospel through music, and yet they are so professional about what they do! Great Project, guys, and great review, Daniel!!!

Great review Daniel!!!!! This album is very good for a table project similar to L5’s 10. And Grigs Jim Brady is featured on “He Came To Me” and he does a wonderful job!!!!!!!!!!!

Good review Daniel. Looking forward to hearing the project. One additional note, “Up There Somewhere” was actually the project title to the 1993 Ruppes project on Pinnacle. There were a couple of their tunes recorded by Perfect Heart on “On Time God”. There rendition of “Up There Somewhere” was quite good as well. It was later released on a compilation titled “Answers” from Horizon Records in 1998.

George did “Love Was in The Room” on his first solo album before the Booths did it. During a Gospel Greats interview, Michael thanked George for his fine demo work!

Who is featured on “He Came To Me”?

No, Mike Bowling’s rendition is pretty similar to the Collingsworths’ rendition.

If I had to pick a song from “Room for More” that has a similar feel, I’d maybe pick “The Half that’s Never Been Told.”

I asked Phil Collingsworth about that when I saw them in concert the other day. He said they had no idea the Booths were going to do it until a fairly recent joint concert. Before the concert, Michael or Ronnie pulled out a CD player, and said, “Listen to this,” popped the CD in. Phil didn’t recognize the song until the lyrics kicked in, and apparently the Booths had a fun time watching his face at that point.

Is their arrangement of “Trading a Cross for a Crown” similar to the arrangement on Mike Bowling’s 2004 album, “Where I Stand”? That one had more of a progressive sound, but it wasn’t better than the Collingsworth Family’s.
