Leah Mari
This is an interesting album. It is
an attempt to rehabilitate a whole
range of classic hymns. It isn’t that

with hairier chests.

This is an album that does what it says on the tin. The
quality of musicianship is everything you would expect
with musicians like Nicki Rogers and Eoghan Heaslip
involved and the songs are very much in the genre
of today’s contemporary worship.
