Please rate this album:

This is a CD-R compilation of gospel recordings which had previously been released on his earlier solo albums. As such it's of limited interest, but I suppose it does act as a sampler for his solo work, which often included backing by the CMB's and guests.

Of particular note are the three tracks from the George Shuffler & James Alan Shelton - The Legacy Continues CD, which isn't easy to find at a decent price.

This was the first of three releases on James' Sheltone label.
