CD Alert: Blur The Lines (Crabb Family)

I've just heard the tracks for the upcoming release by the Crabb Family titled Blur The Lines. It's due to release on March 28. Like the Brian Free release I blogged about last week, I heard these songs over an internet connection.

This recording certainly lives up to its name. It draws from black gospel, praise music, and contemporary Christian pop music sources. There's also a couple of hymns. The first track on the recording, "Friend Of God," is repeated at the end of the recording in Spanish ("Amigo De Dios"). Counting the repeated track, there are 13 songs in all.

None of the songs on Blur The Lines are original tracks, but that doesn't matter. The Crabb Family gives each song a unique Crabb touch, which is what I wish all artists would do when they do re-makes. The music tracks are mostly in the vein of the original versions of these songs (with the hymns being exceptions, of course), but the Crabbs make each track their own vocally.

Look for a full length review of this CD once I get a copy. My primal reaction is that it's:
A) Very good and
B) Sure to tick off a lot of Southern Gospel fans.
