pure franklin
Kirk Franklin said you would either love it or hate it. Well, I have every single one of his cd's and i must say some of the tracks on some of them I did not care for and some I did care for. On this cd is the same. some i do ,some I don't. and that is ok because I have found that on EACH one of his cd's there is something for EVERYONE. a message from above and he's a good messenger!!!

Timing is Everything, and Then Some
Discovered this album, and Kirk Franklin, during a time when the message of the album, survival, by faith, was so needed. On a random radio sweep, listening to an interview with Franklin on NPR of all places. Picked up the album during one of those proverbial Dark Nights of the Soul, and every track hit me - this angst-ridden middle-aged white guy - right between the eyes. One of those amazing moments when it feels a work of such pure artistry was composed and performed just for you. Haunting at times, rocking at others, a blend of melodious prayer and unrestrained joyous rythm. The perfect album for these imperfect times.
