When a group like the Crabb Family comes off the road it can often leave a void in the industry.  The group has won countless awards and have sung a lot of great songs over the years.  The style of the Crabb Family was always different than anything else you could find.  Many groups have tried to copy it but no one has ever done it successfully.  Their final project is aptly titled "Letting Go."  As with most Crabb Family projects, it has a wide variety of music that the listener will enjoy and be blessed by multiple times.

"The Cafe" is a unique song to get started with.  It is the story of a meeting in a cafe that changes the life of the person and changes them forever.  "Give You Praise" is borderline a CCM praise and worship song!  It is a fine effort handled easily by the Crabb Family.  I enjoyed the song and, if given a chance, will likely become quite popular.  The title song, as mentioned, is "Letting Go" and this song encourages the listener to let go of the things that hold us back from freedom.  "Give It All To Him" is a great song that many will enjoy.  Like the song before it, it reminds us to give every burden we have to God and He will guide our path.

The next song really picks up the pace with "You Saved Me."  It almost has an island feel to the song.  It is a song rejoicing in the fact that God saved us!  "Don't Wait" is a wonderfully crafted song that reminds us not to wait to give your life to God.  The next song has a catchy tune.  The song is titled "Child Of The King" and the song reminds us what it means to be a child of God!  "Holy One" is another outstanding song from the Crabb Family that is asking the Holy One, our precious God, to guide us.

The Crabb Family has sung a lot of songs about brothers over the years and "Brothers And Friends" is another one to add to the list!  "Outspoken" is a different title for a song but this song is probably not what you might think.  It speaks of being outspoken in our prayers to God.  A song that is titled "Holy Ghost Stomp" can only be a fast song, right?  Well, it sure is and I really enjoyed the instrumental from the Crabb Family Band!  The final track on the project is a bonus track called "Redeemer."  What a great way for the Crabb Family to "Let Go" singing about the precious Redeemer they have sung about for so many years.

The Crabb Family has won about every award imaginable in Southern Gospel Music.  They have sung in front of huge auditoriums all over the world.  This project seems to be a perfect send off for this group with twelve great tracks.  The group vocals are impeccable as always and the Daywind production staff is one of the best in the business.  My favorite songs from the project are "Give You Praise," "Child Of The King" and "You Saved Me."  It's always sad to see a group like the Crabb Family but as the Crabb Family is "Letting Go" we can all look forward to what the Lord has in store for each of them individually!  For more information visit www.thecrabbfamily.com.
