Praise III

Description

Praise III is a multi-artist compilation released on Maranatha! Music in 1979. It is the third album of an ongoing series of praise and worship compilations known as The Praise Series, recorded by The Maranatha Singers. The album was recorded and mixed at Maranatha! Studio in Santa Ana, California; with Tom Coomes of Love Song fame producing.

Praise III was (alongside Hosanna, another compilation released by Maranatha! Music the same year) included among CCM Magazine’s Top 10 MOR/Inspirational and Misc. Albums of 1979 – Producer Tom Coomes has again displayed what a quality praise & worship album is all about. Great songs, singers, and arrangements make this a welcome visitor to any turntable.
