This is the digitally remastered version of the original "One Lord" collection from 1987, with 4 bonus tracks.
The album is not as consistently strong as 1972's "Amazing Grace," but there are several high points. "Surely God Is Able" and "Higher Ground" are standouts...but the bonus track "Beams Of Heaven" catches Aretha at her most inspired in this outing. The inclusion of this one song, a duet with Joe Ligon (Mighty Clouds Of Joy), is almost enough by itself to move this project to a 5 star rating. The first time I heard it, it literally gave me goose bumps. It is the song that comes closest to the genius and spirit of the "Amazing Grace" album, and makes one wonder how in the world it was left off the original release. "Be Grateful," a duet with Mavis Staples, is another gem that has finally been released from the vaults; and as with "Beams," it's apparent that Aretha is not just going through the motions with this one.
