While the Time Life Songs 4 Ever series comes as a 10-CD boxed set to review it all as one I don't think would be fair so I'm going to review each CD individually.

 

Songs 4 Ever covers Christian music from the last two decades and besides the10 CDs, also includes a lyric's booklet, and comes in its own collector's box.

 

Shout is the first CD in the Time Life series Songs 4 Ever collection that we'll be reviewing.

 

Here are the 15 tracks that you'll find on Shout, the rocking "Big House"- Audio Adrenaline, the pop romance song "Baby Baby- Amy Grant, pop praise song "Testify to Love"- Avalon, a live version of the praise and worship song "Come Now Is the Time to Worship"- Brian Doerksen, the hit "Who Am I"-Casting Crowns, the piano ballad "Word of God Speak- MercyMe, the 1992 classic "Friends"- Michael W. Smith, a nice sing along version of "Here I Am to Worship" - Sonicflood, the hit praise and worship song "Shout to the Lord" - Darlene Zschech, the poignant song of a father dealing with his daughter growing up "Butterfly Kisses"- Bob Carlisle,  the choir song "Why We Sing"- Kirk Franklin and the Family, a nice version of the 1994 Twila Paris classic "God in Control, the take a strong stand for your faith song "For Future Generations" - 4Him,  the song about pure honest worship "The Heart of Worship"- Matt Redman and last but certainly not least is the 1988 classic "Awesome God"- Rich Mullins. (For those of you not old enough to remember Rich Mullins do yourself a favor and learn more about him. His life was tragically cut short when he died in an automobile accident in September of 1997.  Many of today's Christian artist give credit to Rich for influencing their music and more important their spirit for serving others. Here's a site to visit to learn more about Rich- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Mullins ).

 

Time Life has really put together an unbelievable set of songs on Shout. The 15 tracks feature both Christian artist of the past along with current ones to offer up 68 minutes of really good music.
