Hold Me In

Reviews - Details - Chords - Lyrics

"For this latest venture, Birtill goes international, teaming up with the Celebration Choir at Tulsa's Eastland AOG church, OK - a most intriguing partnership indeed. The main difference is that Godfrey is backed by a proficient 55-strong (white) gospel choir instead of the congregational vocals that accompany him on his other 'live' releases. Birtill traverses a selection of his more popular material, many tunes taken from previous albums, several being new. Unconventionally (but not ineffectively) he begins with a couple of quieter pieces before building up to potent anthems like the heart-warming 'Bless the Lord' (co-led by Leland Mooring) and the roof-lifting 'Outrageous Grace'. Group vocals aside, main accompaniment comes from steady percussion, handclaps and sensitive piano, though we also find some tasty sax here and there."
