WHY WE SING - DIONNE WARWICK
While the several nods to a perfectly realized, contemporary gospel sound (”With All Heart,” “I’m Going Up,” Kirk Franklin’s “Why We Sing”) come across just fine on Dionne Warwick’s latest, it’s the down-home, classic Sunday-morning songs that delight. She shows an unparalleled master’s touch on a fervent array of unapologetically seminal gospel (”Old Landmark,” “Jesus Loves Me,” “Rise, Shine and Give God the Glory”). A stirring celebration from a great talent, still at the top of her form.
