Customer Reviews:

You must add this work to your collection.......2006-12-08

This is one of the most incredible pieces of music I've ever heard. If you notice, no reviewer has given less than 5 stars. If I could give more, I would. I began listening to this in the 80's off an album that belonged to a friend. I made a rough recording with a microphone onto a cassette and listened for years. Then it wore out and broke. I was without this music for over ten years when I found a used CD on ebay. Now it has resurffaced to the delight of many. I hope that people will find this and embrace it's timeless beauty and anointed lyrics/music. It is truly a masterpiece!

Transcendent!.......2006-04-22

I don't know any other way to describe the music and theme of this unique CD. It genuinely transcends musical and denominational boundaries with its timeless sound and content.

Musically, it is at once classic and contemporary, modern and ancient. Lyrically, it's devotion and desire will resonate with all true Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant.

This was one of my favorite albums 25 years ago, when it was originally released, and still is today. That's the hallmark of great music.

Kemper is a genius.......2005-11-07

I have several of Kemper's CD's, and I can honestly say that the music on all of them is genius. This is no exception. Even Stevie Ray Vaughn stated that this album was his favorite while on MTV Unplugged.

Be on the lookout for Kemper's new website which should be up sometime in November 2005:

A must-have for contemplative Christians.......2005-01-10

I heard this album in the '80s in college. I wore out the cassette and (sadly) never had it on vinyl. I stumbled across it just the other day, and am delighted to have it back in my house. It's been playing non-stop for a couple of weeks. We have a LOT of music in our house, but our 4 year old daughter is singing these songs already, in a way that she never did with other CDs!

The tunes are beautifully crafted, catchy, and thought-provoking. The perfect mix. The album is an especially good fit for those who have interest in the early church and orthodoxy in the broader sense -- whether easter, Roman Catholic or protestant in faith. But is great for anyone who loves beautiful music.

Inspiring and Classic!.......2004-09-05

My search is over! I can finally replace my album! I, too, discovered Kemper Crabb in the 80's while in college in the Midwest. I wore my album out over the years, even before you could no longer find turn tables! My sister sang "Thigpen's Wedding Song" at my wedding 10 years ago and everyone was haunted by the melody and words. This music has classic roots that strike me today as much, if not more than it did 20 years ago. The concept of keeping a vigil over one's soul is even more powerful these days as I parent my two young girls. Every evening to be thankful that we are together and every morning to place the armor of our Lord on before we enter the realm! Keep the Vigil!
