wow hits 2004

my final review of this 2-cd album. What they should have done is move the Reliant K song and replaced the Amy Grant song on the first cd, and just sold the thing as a one cd album. Well actually, my preference would have been for them to put it between Sing Alleluia and Only Hope. They'd fit together since all 3 are acoustic.

This brings me to a pondering. There was an episode when this christian/country singer comes back to Springfield, and she mentions something about how Christian music is just replacing the word "baby" with "Jesus". Well, the Amy Grant song "Simple Things" uses one 'baby' and not one single mention of God, Christ or Jesus. The only reference she has is the use of the phrase 'miracle of forgiving'. That's all -- it's almost as bad as "Draw Me Close"!
