I predict this will soar to number one in the praise and worship charts and I doubt whether a better, more musically adept and Holy Spirit-anointed album will emerge from Britain or America's worship song factory for a long while. Cross Rhythms has long been an admirer of lan's 'Psalms' albums, but nothing quite quite prepared us for 'Holy Ground'. From the glorious R&B-tinged "May The Peoples Praise You" (I loved David Grant's scatting on the close!), the exquisitely worshipful "Lord You Have My Heart" (where Nannette Welmans and Helen Burgess do the most soul-sweet harmonies this side of Heaven) and song after song where Ian, sounding even more like Cliff now that he's got First Division production (nice one Mr Moir), directs his heart and soul towards a holy God. All the husky expressiveness of lan's voice is caught on these skilfully arranged songs while seldom has Scripture come so compellingly alive as on these joyful outpourings of praise and tender-hearted calls to worship. A mighty album.

This album has been a hit in Kampala for over 10 years.
The song "Lord you have my heart" has been a hit on Christian Radio stations.

I did not know it was performed by Mr. Ian.

I was wondering where I could purchase this CD, I had this album in Tape format many years ago and was looking to have it in CD format

Not sure you'll ever see this reply Ian but you can get this album via downloading direct from Ian White's website. Google 'Littlemistymusic' and you'll find it.

This is one of the best music cassettes I have ever owned. I've had this tape for years and continually come back to listen to it. I'm sure it's because the lyrics come straight from His Word. Well done Ian.
