This month we take you to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for a closer look at the new CD by the Anointed Brown Sisters. The third CD by the talented sisters is titled He Worked It Out For Me.

The Anointed Brown Sisters are a family group comprised of four sisters and one niece. The group was actually formed in Havana, Alabama. They have resided in Tuscaloosa for several decades. The desire to sing quartet style gospel music was instill in the sisters at an early age. The sisters grew up singing, as many gospel singers start out, in the church.

The group members are Chrishon Brown-Smith, Ora Brown, Abigail Brown, Mesha Brown-Lanier, and Ms. Smith’s daughter, Crystal Smith. Chrishon Brown-Smith is the lead singer, songwriter, and arranger for the group. Her son Terrence Smith, Jr., is the group’s drummer. Other musicians for the group are Re’gal Moore, Antonio Pearson and Marcilliaus McMillian.

In 2001, the group released their first CD, Philippians 4:13. In 2005, they released Crossing Over and Moving On. And, in 2011, they released the CD that is the subject of this review, He Worked It Out For Me.

The songs on this project are “God Will,” “Hold On,” “Everything That I Do,” “He Worked It Out For Me,” “Mama's Song,” “Wash Me Over Again,” “Jesus Made Me,” “Who Do You Say I Am?,” “Hallelujah,” “True Repentance,” “Little David,” “Wait I Say Upon The Lord,” “Superwoman,” “So Amazing,” and “Young People.”

Be careful when you put this project in your CD player because you might not be able to stop hitting the repeat button. The project includes selections with varying ranges in time from 3 minutes to 7 minutes 30 seconds. There are ten songs that are each over 5 minutes in length.

It is difficult to single out any one particular song on this project – so we will not. For, the project does have something for everyone. Choirs will find several songs that may become part of their performances. Praise and Worship leaders will find songs appropriate for opening any service. Those struggling with the ups and down presented by the life’s daily challenges will find uplifting songs on the project. The group even put a song on the CD specifically for the younger generation, Young People.

As you listen to the CD you will readily conclude that these ladies possess a wealth of musical talent. It is not often that you hear a female group handling two and three-part harmony very well. The Anointed Brown Sisters rise to the task. There is great harmony throughout the entire project.

This CD is certainly noteworthy and full of hit material. It will test the notion that artists cannot independently produce their very own quality laden projects. The production is crisp and clear. The musicians never overshadow the singers. And, the background vocals blend exceptionally well with the lead singer. One very important point to mention is that each and every selection on this recording is power packed. In addition, each song will minister to the listener.

Overall this is a very good project by the Anointed Brown Sisters.  You should be able to find this CD in your local record store.  We give the Anointed Brown Sisters’ He Worked It Out For Me a 9 out of 10.  Click HERE to purchase the CD online.  Click on the title to hear "Hallelujah."
