If power singer Kathy Taylor’s churchy “Oh How Precious” blew your speakers across the room, “Forever Praise” will give your woofers and tweeters a rest.

“Forever Praise” is a mid-tempo praise and worship outing with a distinctive CCM flavor. It comes from the same live two-CD set as “Oh How Precious,” but it stresses Kathy’s smoother, calmer side. She does a fine job on the evenly-produced song, though the background vocalists do most of the heavy lifting. When Kathy begins evangelizing during the reprise, I’m reminded how much I prefer the “Oh How Precious” Kathy over the “Forever Praise” Kathy.
