I am a longtime fan of Michael Card's music. I love his voice, and he and his music sound better live than prerecorded. I have seen him in concert 4-5 times and have had the opportunity to meet him. If you have not had the chance to see/hear him live, then this CD is a close second to being able to do that. A nice thing about the CD is that his comments are at the end of each track, so you can just skip forward to the next song if you don't want to hear the talking each time you play the CD.Some of Michael's best songs are on this CD. Many of them feature a guest vocalist or musician, which you may or may not enjoy. I personally love the album. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that he didn't introduce one of the guest vocalists, Sarah Groves. Perhaps he didn't do this because, as he said live at a concert, she needs no introduction. It's great to hear her awesome voice on a couple of the songs!
