EAN: 0602341002523 Format: Live Label: Reunion Manufacturer: Reunion MPN: 602341002523 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Reunion Release Date: September 11, 2001 Studio: Reunion Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: SMITH,MICHAEL W. Title: WORSHIP Street Release Date: 09/11/2001 Genre: CHRISTIAN ROCK Amazon.com: An impressive thread of praise and worship runs through the career of Michael W. Smith. After all, he's penned two of today's finest modern praise songs ("Great Is the Lord" and "Agnus Dei"), and he was the creative genius behind Exodus, a brilliant collection of worship material. Yet that same artistic spirit seems sadly lacking on Worship, Smith's first solely praise and worship release. All parts are assembled, with Smith on vocals and keyboards, and an all-star choir of Amy Grant, Phillips, Craig & Dean, Chris Rice, Cindy Morgan, and others backing him on this live release. But outside of a few selected tracks ("Let It Rain" and "Draw Me Close"), Worship falls flat. Smith's decision to cover the day's most popular praise songs and not focus on new material of his own weakens the record's impact. In fact, "Purified," one of two studio tracks on the release, was cowritten by Smith and his wife, and it's the CD's brightest moment. While Worship is not a forgettable release, it is, unfortunately, predictable. --Michael Lyttle Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Michael W. SmithI recently had the opportunity to see Michael W. in person and had the pleasure of doing the meet and greet before his performance. He is such a very spiritual person and very down to earth. Watching and listening to him, I can see why he is one of the top Contemporary Christian musicians today. He has been around for a long time and I can see him being around for a long time to come. This is a wonderful CD and I will be buying more music my him. Rating: - WorshipWhen I hear these songs I just want to be in my secret place and bring worship and praise to the lord! Greate One! Rating: - Smitty is a blessing!Absolutely incredible! From the first opening strains to the last amen this is my current all-time favorite worship album! I just wish we could hear the entire concert and not just the music. It's been a while since I've seen Smitty perform in concert and I miss him. Rating:  - Good stuff...I'll be honest in admitting that I don't really understand the concept of a "worship concert." The strange intersection between performance and worship is somewhat unsettling to me and murkier in this setting than during a worship service. With that said, I enjoy this album. Many of the songs are recycled from other songwriters, which is unusual for a Smitty album. And even though some of them are somewhat old, they're all arranged in unique forms and provide something new for the ...
