Overview The Isaacs?siblings Sonya, Rebecca and Ben and mother Lily? are the gold standard when it comes to bluegrass/gospel groups, characterized as much by their crystalline vocals as their stellar instrumental work. Teaming up for the first time with Grammy Awardwinning producer Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, Rascal Flatts), this East Tennessee family mines new musical territory while building upon their traditional roots.

The Isaacs out did themselves on this album...it is by far their best production yet! I love the new age country/bluegrass sound that this album took, especially because it gives traditional country music fans the opportunity to have a Christian album that sounds similar to the music they are used to listening to. This album could definitely be played on country music radio as well as gospel radio, and I like how it is so diverse that it can be enjoyed by more than one type of audience. The song "I Bring it to You" is also song by Avalon...and even though the Isaacs did a totally different rendition of the song, both versions are amazing. I like about half of the songs on this album...especially the song "Big Sky." Nice album.

I never knew i loved country music till i heard this album. I was walking past the television one day and i heard "Umbrella". I just stopped. The harmonies and lyrics are so enchanting.
Love the quality! Oct 9, 2007
I fell in love with The Isaacs at a Gaither concert--after all, they were the only ones both singing AND playing their own acoustic stuff. Awesome. With "Big Sky" they cross over from southern gospel/bluegrass to a very contemporary country sound but with enough "twangyness" to make me love it. The overall sound--vocals, instruments, production--is very, very polished. I was pleasantly surprised to find Becky and Ben also singing lead and they sounded great. Wow. (Previously, of the three siblings, I only thought Sonya did lead. She's extraordinary.) The only failing I find with this recording is a lack of any real spiritual depth in the lyrics. I would LOVE to hear The Isaacs do some songs that clearly speak of Jesus and challenge Christians to be conformed to His image. (a la CCM'ers Casting Crowns or Mercy Me.) I believe they would turn the northern states popular Christian radio upside-down. But I also think using their superb talents on just regular songs is a mighty fine way to make a living and I am glad they did.
The perfect blend Aug 28, 2007
I absolutely love this album! I purchased it on this site last week and have listened to nothing else since. I never liked bluegrass until I saw "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". Then, like a million other people, I bought the soundtrack and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then I have purchased one Alison Krauss CD and mostly enjoyed it. A friend turned me on to the Isaacs and this is the first of their cds I have owned. It is a unique blend of harmony, interesting and folksy lyrics, and unusual combinations of instruments. I highly recommend it.
