The packaging on
Take the Message Everywhere is a bit misleading, presenting
Andraé Crouch in a more recent pose. However, the contents of the CD are nowhere near contemporary, but rather a treasure chest of gospel-soul
Crouch recorded early in his career with the Disciples in the late '60s. A blend of late-'60s funk and soul lays the musical bed from which the message is delivered, with production values that would not be out of place on a Sly Stone or
David Axelrod recording. ~ Rob Theakston
