An amazing acapella group that will stir your soul and get you feeling RIGHTEOUS. There is not a clinker in the whole album. Stand outs you'll want to hear over and over include: "My God Called Me This Morning", "Roll Jordan Roll", "Standing in the Safety Zone", and "Dig a Little Deeper in God." Just thinking about it has me wanting to listen again. Wait until you hear the bass singer!
