When it came to celebrating his 20th year of recording,
Donald Lawrence opted not to take the standard route. Rather than release a simple anthology consisting of previously released material,
Lawrence recorded live performances of career highlights and added some new material. Featuring the Tri-City Singers, as well as guest appearances from the likes of
Yolanda Adams,
Lalah Hathaway,
Faith Evans, and
Natalie Grant,
20 Year Celebration, Vol. 1: Best for Last serves as a lively introduction for newcomers as well as a treat for longtime fans. Among the highlights are "The Blessing of Abraham," "God," and "Ultimate Relationship." ~ Andy Kellman
