CD We love the variety of songs on this cd. Amy Grant is a great singer.
1979 - 1986
This collection includes some of the best songs of her carriere between the years 1979 and 1986. Amy Grant is one of the greatest Christian female artists ever. The only album that hasn't any of songs is Amy Grant's self-titled which is also her first one. However, we can hear piece of one of the songs in "Ageless Medley" called "Old Man's Rubble". It's a great medley, it also has pieces of "Too Late", "I'm Gonna Fly", "Walking Away With You", "El Shaddai", "My Father's Eyes", "Sing Your Praise to the Lord", and "I Have Decided". Usually I don't like medleys but this is one of the greatest medleys I've ever heard. The collection has many of greatest Amy's songs including four of her best-known gospel album "Age to Age" - "Sing Your Praise to the Lord", "I Have Decided", the peaceful ones "In A Little While", and "El Shaddai". I'm sure that these are the four most essential tracks from the album. "Too Late" and "I'm Gonna Fly" are live versions. It was an interesting decision to take these from live album - some may hate it some may like it. "All I Ever Have to Be" is a touching ballad but very short and meaningless - there would have been better choices from "Never Alone", defintely. "Father's Eyes" is maybe her best song! It is so touching, great, and humble. I like the album "My Father's Eyes" very much, and would have taken at least one more song from it. The three songs from "Straight Ahead" are all great! "Angels" is a funny-sounding song by melody, and the words are very encouraging. "Thy Word" and "Where Do You Hide Your Heart" are classic songs and defintely are great for this collection. "Find a Way" is a little bit simple song, and I wouldn't have taken it for this collection. "Everywhere I Go" is a good song but it seemed that Amy had lost a little bit of her energy with "Unguarded". The NEW song "Stay for Awhile" is a little bit boring and too long - a terrible opener. "Love Can Do" is a great song, remembers me from the early years! "Emmanuel" is the only song taken from Amy's Christmas album" - it's a good song. A good collection but I would have chosen some other songs instead of "Stay for Awhile", "Find a Way", "I'm Gonna Fly", and "All I Ever Have to Be".
Stars: Father's Eyes, Sing Your Praise to the Lord, Love Can Do, Too Late.
Amys Best
Nothing compares with her early pop/praise songs. AMy Grants early work is some of her best if not her best. They are timeless classics. Standouts on this are her cover of the song "El Shaddai" "Thy Word" and "Fathers Eyes. " This CD contains 17 songs and is one of the best albums of the 80s. Some of the songs are a little dated but they still have that factor that makes them listenable today. A must for all fans of any type of Christian music.
A Christian Pop Must Have
Her voice is superb. Amy Grant's music contains many great Christian pop hits. Many of her songs are classics.
This collection contains many of her all time best including such gems as these: Stay For Awhile, Everywhere I Go, Angels, Thy Word, Sing Your Praise To The Lord, In A Little While, El Shaddai, and Father's Eyes.
No contemporary Christian music collection would be complete without an Amy Grant collection such as this. I recommend it.
