I wondered if that was what you meant!

Umm … read that “when it was new.” Don’t know what happened there.

I’ll just put my thoughts on here, since I’ve definitely had a while to form an opinion … I got this CD not too long after it came out, I think. It has really grown on me over time. I liked it quite a bit better after six months plus than when I was knew.

“I’m So Glad I Found Jesus” is a really great song, in my opinion. I actually find the message pretty serious. It took a while for me to start liking the way they changed the timing on “O! Say But I’m Glad,” but know I don’t really like the original timing!

An important test on an album for me is “staying power”; how long will I want to keep listening to it? There are three or four songs I don’t play much, but the others quite outweigh that for me. This probably is one of my favorite L5 albums. Oh, OK, along with Strong in the Strength, Heritage I, II, & II, ….

Just a quick comment about “Know So” Salvation. I’m very glad that groups like Legacy Five are actually singing about “Salvation”. Whether choppy or otherwise… the gospel is getting out! When I first heard it I loved it! I wish more groups would start singing about salvation instead of just “elluding” to it by talking about “Hope” and not giving the full story! BRAVO Legacy Five!

All right–I edited that, and–Tyler–pulled the “new” on “I’m so Glad I Found Jesus.”

Thank you for catching those!

You’re right. Sometimes my mind skips a beat. Sorry for the mistake! I’ll edit the post accordingly.

Daniel,

The “I Go To The Rock” that I’ve seen L5 perform on YouTube is not the Dottie Rambo song. I would imagine this is the same song on the CD. The version by Legacy 5 was written by Squire Parsons and was originally popularized by the Kingdom Heirs on their “Forever Gold” album from circa 1995.

The SP song starts with the lyrics “When the billows are raging…”

Nice review!

One note on “I’m So Glad I Found Jesus:” That song is not new. It was recorded on the Bishops project “Stories.”

I don’t think that song is a “weak link” though – it’s really quite good.

They say if you have perfect pitch, you can hear differences in tonal quality between different notes. I can’t really, at least not consistently, but I can hear differences in tonal quality between different chords.

The chord of G-major has a magnificent feel to it that E-flat and (to an extent) F cannot capture. That is part of why I prefer the soundtrack from the first version.
