Randy Travis fans will want to get all three of these albums because Randy has put a lot passion into these recordings. Here are some additional differences that might help you choose which CD to get first. Worship and Faith is the least polished of the three albums. Some of the tracks sound like single-take recordings done from a live concert rather than in a recording studio. Randy's voice doesn't sound as rich as you might be used to hearing, probably because he's singing a lot of songs that weren't written for him. Worship and Faith is also a mix of hymns (Farther Along, How Great Thou Art, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Shall We Gather At the River, Love Lifted Me, Softly and Tenderly, Sweet By and By, Blessed Assurance, In the Garden, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Peace in the Valley, The Unclouded Day, Room at the Cross For You), a couple of well-known gospel songs (He's My Rock, My Sword, My Shield; I'll Fly Away; Turn Your Radio On), and a few contemporary worship songs (You Are Worthy of My Praise, Open the Eyes of My Heart, Above All, We Fall Down). To be honest, I don't think Randy's voice fits the contemporary worship songs very well. They don't sound bad; they just don't sound like him. They will sound especially out of place to you if you've been listening to Micheal W. Smith sing them over the last few years that he's put out his worship albums. The three songs that I called well-known gospel songs are fantastic, but don't really fit the tone of the rest of the album. The real strength of Worship and Faith is the traditional hymns. The hymns fit Randy's voice well and they are all pleasant to listen to and sing with. If you like Randy Travis a lot and enjoy singing hymns, then this is a CD for you. If you're new to Randy Travis or are looking for a more contemporary country gospel album, then this is not the best place to start. I'd suggest Rise and Shine if you like contemporary country (it's the strongest of his three gospel albums) or Inspirational Journey if you like more traditional, male vocalist country music in the vein of George Jones or Johnny Cash. If you liked his first two gospel albums, you should try this one, but prepare yourself for a different, more traditional, lower-key recording. TORRENTED BY: Torrent Tracts, May 2009
