If someone were to ask my favorite new group for 2007, I would have to say the Browns!  This family seemed to rise up through the industry very quickly this year.  Their latest project will show you why!

"Lovin' This Livin'" reminds us just how great it is to live for the Lord!  That was a fast pace song but "Hosanna In The Highest" kicks it up another notch!  This Rebecca J. Peck song is very enjoyable.  Every great group has to have a songwriter and the Browns have a couple.  Jessica Brown co-wrote "The Way He Said My Name" with Rebecca J. Peck.  The message of the song is awesome and I encourage everyone to listen to it.  I first heard this group on Tunes4Him.com singing their single!  That single was "Outta This World" and it is a great song reminding us of what Heaven is going to be like!

"Mighty Long Way" does a great job of reminding us where God brought us.  "Livin' Askin' Walkin'" was written by Michaela Brown and Joseph Habedank.  It talks of going through this life livin', askin' and walkin' by faith!  A great song with a great message.  "My Only Hope" gets Shelly Brown in the on the writing as she co-writes the song with Marty Funderburk.  The song is a wonderful song about the hope we can find in Jesus Christ!

"I'm Outta Here" is another fast paced song that is very enjoyable.  Things slow down tremendously as the Browns sing "It Took A Cross."  It is a great song talking about how it took a cross to show how far God would go to set us free.  "Come" is the next song on the project and the group does fine job reminding us that God is always inviting to come to Him!  The final song on this project is "When I Get Home."  It is a wonderful song speaking of what we will be enjoying when we get Home!

The Browns have a great sound.  This project does a fine job of showcasing the vocal talents of the group as well as their songwriting abilities.  The production skills of Roger Talley only adds to the quality of this recording and I found the entire project to be a first class effort.  My favorite songs from the recording are "The Way He Said My Name," "When I Get Home" and "Outta This World."  The entire project is worth adding to your collection.  I am pretty sure we will be hearing a lot more about this group in the future!  For more information visit www.thebrownsmusic.com.
