One of the most prolific and successful ministries, on every level, is that of the Contemporary Christian group Acappella, produced by visionary songwriter and arranger Keith Lancaster. Every one of their many CDs, going back to the 1980s, features immaculate production and excellence in vocals, songwriting and arranging, driven by a deep faith in God and their ministry. 'Hymns' is no exception, and features 12 hymns written back as early as 1815 (the words to all are included in the nicely-done liner notes), arranged by Lancaster and members of the group. Dated and dry? Hardly-just listen to the driving contemporary rhythms in the arrangements of 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' and 'Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary.' Beautiful harmonies and timeless words add up to another winner for Acappella!
