So …what was THE album for you of the past decade? Not just popular albums, or “well-done” albums, but the one that helped you BREATHE???
I hope J.T. doesn’t take this personally, but none of his albums helped me to “breathe” more than Fred Hammond’s ‘Purpose by Design.” Some praisin’ has existed alongside that solitary CD since the day it arrived in my mailbox at C.U. from BMG.
