Been There Done That

Why can't every Sunday worship service sound like this? Recorded live at James Temple in Cincinnati, Reverend Timothy Wright leads the B/J Mass Choir through a rollicking and rolling hour of gospel glory. When Wright isn't lifting the roof off the house with testimonials like "You Are My Everything" and "Give You the Glory," he's moving you off those church pews with the funky grooves of "Been There Done That" and "Don't Believe He Brought Me This Far." With powerhouse vocals and a spirited backing cast, Wright continues to find new ways to use a gospel choir with his unique arrangements. The Brooklyn, New York, native is etching a mark among the genre's finest talents with releases like this. --Michael Lyttle
