Top 100: #49 Give Me the Mountain (Kingdom Heirs)

Release Year: 2005

Album Rank for Group: #6 of 10

Here’s a blurb: Give Me the Mountain contains the first Kingdom Heirs song I ever heard, “I Don’t Wanna Go Back”.  I was hooked after the first chorus.  This is the first major label recording after Billy Hodges joined Arthur Rice, Jeff Chapman, and Steve French to form another outstanding vocal lineup, which would last over five years.  It doesn’t have the big hits that some of their albums of this era had, but it is consistently good from top to bottom.  As is typical for the Kingdom Heirs, barnburners and mid-tempo jazzy numbers make up the bulk of the recording.

Knock my socks off: I Don’t Wanna Go Back, God’s Word

Don’t skip that one: Sing Shout Dance, Poorest Man in Heaven, When Jesus Speaks Life, My Anchor of Hope

I could honestly do without: Give Me the Mountain
