I already know what it's called, I just was wondering what kind of songs are on it? Thanks!

The BWW Upcoming CDs section has some info:

Or there's a thread about it:

Hope that helps.

I'm a little wary of the Jesus stuff, but of course I'll buy it.

The songs are all "Christian" (Except for "Taylor the Latte Boy") but the sound is more Country. There are a couple songs that I think any Country fan would like. It's a pretty mellow album and her voice sounds great. It's not a Broadway style album, which is a shame, but maybe next time. "Taylor" really stands out as it's the only non-religious number AND KC really sings the hell out of it. It makes me long to hear her on Broadway again....

Isn't Christian = Jesus?
The CD sounds Jesus-lite
What does Taylor have to do with the rest of the album? Aside from being a selling point for the CD. It was Playbill's best reviewed song from the disc.

"Taylor" is a 'hidden' track, not listed on the album. There was a huge sticker on the front of my advance copy, however so perhaps 'hidden' isn't the word.

It is a departure from the rest of the album.

"Taylor, put that latte down RIGHT NOW and pray with me!"

Actually, from the sound clips, the album sounds pretty terrific. Kristin's Christian music doesn't sound as lugubrious as Barbras' heavy-emotive "Higher Ground", for instance. She appears to be more low-key with a more mature and deeper voice.
