American audiences probably - and unfortunately - didn't get their intro to Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell until Public Television aired his 2003 concert of this two-disc, 24-song collection.

I bought this for my mother who feels that it is amazing. When asked its ranking on a scale of 1-5, she said TEN! She said that it was 'just lovely' and that she would like to have all of his cds.

This is a magnificent collection of inspirational songs that Daniel O'Donnel has sung so beautifully. "You Raise Me Up", "Surely The Presence of the Lord", "Here I Am Lord", are my mentionable favorites.
