Customer Rating:      Summary: The True Heroes in Life Comment: This album when listened to with a good sound system, along with few distractions will stimulate your mind to think on the greatest "Heroes" in this life. It has been said, "Too often we salute the wrong heroes", (meaning ones that are famous or rich or powerful), when some of the greatest heroes work quietly behind the scenes. Such is the theme track of this album, which stresses well-deserved praise for those who sacrifice their time, talents, and energies to help those that are less fortunate. Other songs of this album, remind us of the love and nuturing of parents, or maybe with sadness those who try everything in this world to find peace, but fail to see the true peace one can have through a meaningful relationship with Christ.
The climax of love, friends, heroes and lasting peace of course is accomplished when listening to the album uninterrupted, in it's entirety. For it is then that the listener can discover the Source of all true peace, the Friend who sticketh closer than a brother, and most important, the Greatest Heroe of all, the Son of God who gave of His life to redeem mankind,and offer hope to a people who otherwise have no hope. The vocals, instrumentals,and Songwriting skills are highly evident in this production. These people perform their own live music, and I highly recommend it!!

Customer Rating:      Summary: I wish I were an Isaacs! Comment: The Heroes Album is great. I am not a review writer but I have this album and went to buy another Isaacs album and was offended by that other woman's hostile review I had to counter it. When she says Sonja can't sing I don't know what she is talking about- hello?? Sonja was just nominated and WON Female Vocalist of the Year 2007 for the Inspirational Country Singers. So, I want to say that I love love love the Isaacs family- all of them. They are all talented and a blessing to this fellow servant of the Lord. I can't get enough of them, I wish I were an Isaacs! They have beautiful harmony in their voice and in their ministry and in their hearts. I have seen them off the stage and they are real and lovely. So, yeah this album is great. Love the Heroes, If That Don't Make You Want To Go and Sweet Holy Spirit those are my favorite tracks, but really I love them all. Anyway, thanks Isaacs! :)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gospel music for anybody Comment: Ok many people are not hardcore classic country gospel fans.
They like some Eagles and like some bluegrass and like some clean country.
But the traditional gospel sounds like a tent show to them or some hard core
moralist hectoring them to be saved. Ok, fine for the devotee,
but not so good for the average joe who isn't.
Well this is the CD for the average person with leanings towards faith,
and wanting music with a good conscious and heart behind it.
The Issacs are a family act, an adult one, and real pros.
They have gorgeous harmonies, on songs that tell stories,
give you a nice Aesopian moral to the story and don't shove
it down your throat. It is also as much about the music as
message. Great players working well together.
If you knew NO ENGLISH, you would like their music.
The instrumentation leans towards acoustic country / bluegrass,
but not heavy on banjo rolls and songs of 'the lords might sword' etc.
It is modern and yet classic musically and the arrangements are
very clean and tight. Lovely production on all levels.
I have played this for my mother-in-law who speaks not a word of English, she enjoyed it.
My wife loves it and plays it regularly mornings. She sings along.
My 19 year old god-daughter, a budding song writer,
fell in love with it on 1st time listening.
I play music on 6 instruments in dozens of styles from bluegrass
to salsa and bebop jazz. I really enjoy this album every time
it's played. I have yet to burn out on it, and don't really expect to.
If you wanted to try out todays gospel music this would be a fine choice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Reallly like this group Comment: I must like this group better than I thought as I inadvertedly ordered this CD twice. I do really like their music, love them on the Gaither's and listen to this album both at home and in the car.
Customer Rating:      Summary: great Comment: Well, I think that the new album "Heroes" is really great. I love the upbeat song "Friend Til the End" it's a "toe-tappin" song. But personally my favorite song is "Peace" ;due to the melancholy lyrics. If you like bluegrass you are "sort -of" in the right place. The drums and the piano hold it back from being bluegrass. But overall it is really good and I recomend this album to anyone who enjoys southern gospel. I also think that everyone did a really good job on pitching in their parts.
