“This two-disc DVD/CD package is culled from the final shows of the David Crowder Band’s tour in support of its 2007 smash album, “Remedy.” The six-man band stays close to the powerful studio arrangements of eight of that album’s songs while adding equally strong renderings of eight more of its signature pieces into what is essentially a live best-of collection. In lesser hands than those of master songsmith/ frontman Crowder, this might be viewed more as marketing than the vital addition to the group’s body of work that it is. But the CD stands as a more-than-worthy overview of the band to date, and its concert-DVD partner—especially in its 5.1 surround mix—is as instantly an engaging experience as modern pop/rock has seen in quite a while. The David Crowder Band has earned the right to this terrific reprise. —Gordon Ely”
