Here's what the Industry is Saying About SD: "Powerful, Precise, an excellent production from beginning to end! This album has my vote for the hall of fame!" "Perseverance". I think I have worn this CD just about out lol. - John Anderson - © October 2003 Host - On the Horizon/ New Artist Radio (newartistreadio.net) The music does not disappoint. It's a collection of deep grooves, heartfelt vocal performances and lyrics which have a deep resonance. SounDoctrine has chosen to launch itself in a secular market in order to spread its message. It would be so easy to produce conventional music for a well-established audience, but they avoided it. This is daring in just about every way. - Chris J. Mann © Smooth Jazz Report -U.K. September 2003 (smooth-jazz.de) SounDoctrine is undoubtedly one of the best gospel bands around today, If you do not believe me, go pick up their CD and you'll discover something new, fresh and innovative, all glorifying the one and only true God. - Delroy Souden © September2003 EnSound Entertainment (ensoundentertainment.com) Stunning musicianship and positivity overflowing.
