PRODUCER: David Phelps
Label: Word Records
Website: DavidPhelps.com

David Phelps has had quite the career already. The pop singer with the big voice got his start with Southern Gospel stalwarts Gaither Vocal Band. He released three impressive solo outings and a Christmas record while still recording with the Vocal Band. Last year, Phelps left the Vocal Band to concentrate on his already hectic solo career. Now, Phelps is releasing his first ever live recording - Legacy of Love: David Phelps Live! Recorded at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama to a packed house, Legacy of Love features songs from Phelps' two solo outings on Word Records - as well as a couple new songs found only on this recording. For the most part, the live album features Phelps doing what he does best - singing sky high on songs that soar - such as tunes like "Virtuoso", "Just As I Am", "With His Love (Sing Holy)", and "Behold the Lamb." He also has some softer moments that are really some of the finer moments on the CD - such as "Gentle Savior", "God Will Take Care of You", and "Bring Him Home." Overall, Legacy of Love will probably only appeal to fans of Phelps. New listeners should probably wait and see what Phelps does on his next studio outing.

BAWhere in the world do you guys get the impression that a 3 1/2 star review is a low quality album?

3 1/2 stars is a a solid album. A great piece of work.

There's not much to say guys. It's a live album. Phelps does a good job. But it's also just that - a live album of older material. That's not 5-star worthy.

And BTW - I'm not sure why Old Paths was brought up as not possibly creating an album better than Phelps? The Old Paths are a fine group.

I've yet to hear a Phelps album that I would rank higher than 4 stars - and that's being generous.

Please do not read into what I said.

I said he's never made an album above 4 stars - an album is more than just his vocal performance. It's everything - including production, tracking, song selection, etc.

Well I disagree. This is how I would rate his albums:

Joy, Joy - 4
David Phelps - 3
Revelation - 3
Life Is a Church - 3 1/2
Legacy of Love: David Phelps Live! - 3 1/2
